Redding Cancer Treatment Center

Everyone is decent there, but as far as PC is concerned, they don't worry whether it is confined to the prostate or not, have a wait and see approach after radiation. Not into newer technologies like SpaceOar to protect the bowel during treatments, so get used to some rectal bleeding.

Convenient location and friendly staff. They seem to want a positive outcome for their patients. Patient parking is a little cramped and would be nice if it were expanded somewhat.

Nice helpful people. Made the radiology experience as easy as they could. Modern equipment too. Relatively quick and easy.

GET A SECOND OPINION, IT APPEARS TO ME THAT SOME DOCTORS ARE TOO BUSY TO READ. THEY ARE NOT UP TO THE STANDARDS THAT I EXPECTED. I WISH I HAD GONE OUT OF TOWN AND TO A PLACE THAT PRACTICES INTRAGRATED MEDICINE. THEY DON'T ADDRESS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM OR DIET AT ALL. THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME MORE DIFINITIVE TESTS THAT ARE AVAILIBLE AND OBSERVED IT BEFORE SURGERY. I ASKED DIRECT QUESTIONS AND THEY WERE NOT TRUTHFUL, BECAUSE MEDICINE HAS KNOWN THE ANSWERS FOR MANY YEARS. THE BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS MADE BY MD IMAGINIG, I WASN'T INFORMED THAT THEY SUSPECTED CANCER FOR THREE MONTHS! SO I WAS IN SHOCK AND IGNORANTLY FOLLOWED THEIR DIRECTION INTO SURGERY. THEY WOULD NOT SEND MY RECORDS/NOTES ECT. TO ANOTHER DOCTOR FOR A SECOND OPINION AT UCSF MEDICAL CENTER. BUT REMEMBER, YOU HAVE TIME TO MAKE A GOOD DECISION.
