My visit was my first to the Cancer care center that was complicated complex. I met with Dr. Istl, I warned nurse her physician assistant a medical resident, A nurse who represented a pilot study program, etc., so it was a lot of information for one visit, but everyone was pleasant and accommodating, and attempted to answer my questions and did give me numbers for follow up, considering my diagnosis. It was just a lot to handle in a day.
