    I didn't get to talk to Dr. Chalmers until after she got out of her meeting but she confirmed everything that Melissa Shepherd and I had talked about earlier.

    Anna Chalmers has been guiding me through my struggles with leomyosarcoma for 16 years and has kept me up to date on what the CT and MRI scans have shown about my insides. She is very pleasant and knowledgeable and is a joy to work with.
