Congrats on getting the pump. I thought only Sloan dealt with the pump and you had to travel there for anything to do with the "pump" etc. As far as systemic chemo, why move? I would think your local guy could administer systemic with no problem and work with Sloan. Send Phil a PM, he may have a better answer than I do, he gets treated at Sloan.

Hi Tina. Your're right, I will have to go to Sloan once a month to have the pump filled, but after 2 weeks, the pump needs emptied and flushed. My onc's office hasn't worked with Sloan. But there are many offices that have. I was trying to get a feel of where and who works well with Sloan. I don't mind moving. That's the least of my worries. My husband can work from anywhere, and we had already downsized 2 years ago and are renting. I am at a critical juncture and just want to work with people who are easy to work with. I think I could rest much easier knowing that everyone is working together and are on the same page. Communication has been the worst of it so far. I hate that. (Yes, I have been communicating with Phil, and Amy, and they have been great!!)0
