(NYT7) BOTHELL, Wash. -- July 28, 2007 -- CANCER-2 -- Karen Pasqualetto with her daughter Isabel in Bothell, Wash., in June 2007. Pasqualetto before her surgery, to remove five tumors said, "I don't feel I have a doctor who is looking out for my care." Pasqualetto had just given birth to her first child last July when doctors discovered she had colon cancer. She was only 35, and the disease had already spread to her liver. The months she had hoped to spend getting to know her new daughter were hijacked by illness, fear and a desperate quest to survive. Cancer can be overwhelmingly complicated to treat. Patients are often stunned to learn that they will need not just one doctor, but at least three: a surgeon and specialists in radiation and chemotherapy. Diagnosis and treatment require a seemingly endless stream of appointments. Doctors do not always agree, and patients may find that at the worst time in their lives, when they are ill, frightened and most vulnerable, they also have to seek second opinions on biopsies and therapy, fight with insurers and sort out complex treatment options.
