March 21, 2012

The doctor is very caring and answered every question that I had, (and I had 8 or 10 of them all written down). He discussed my treatment in detail to me. He also is more than willing to work with me in scheduling my appoinments since I live 250 miles away out of state.

March 20, 2012

There were alot of words that I didn't understand but guessed what they meant because my condition has been on going for a long time and I know most of the treatments.

March 01, 2012

There was no cancer found in the first Mohs sample, so it leaves me wondering if I really needed this procedure at all!! I understand that it's better to be safe than sorry, but it's frustrating to now carry a scar, wondering if I really needed it. I felt like there was not a good discussion of the alternative of not receiving any treatment at this time. Everything seem strongly pushed towards having this procedure no matter what.

February 29, 2012

Didn't have the need for a care giver
