<<I've been struggling with the knowledge that Marc's colleague with the brain tumor has been getting imo, sub-top notch care in a top notch institution..based on my experience and research this young 27yo. with a brain tumor should have been getting more aggressive treatment..but after speaking(not ranting) to her care takers, it became obvious to me that people were afraid of stepping on the turf of colleagues, staff in high positions possessive of their treatment protocols and unwilling to work with other institutions' protocols...>>

A good friend of mine expressed the same frustration recently regarding her step father's lymphoma. He is being treated at an excellent institution - MD Anderson - and is doing well now. But he found out how important it is for a cancer patient to be very involved in decisions regarding their treatment. Several times he would go to an appointment and be told that he needed a given course of treatment, and he had to remind them that he had already tried that!
