Dr. McCann is always an amazing doctor! My appointment today was especially important since I have recently had test results indicating a new metastatic growth. Dr. McCann had prepared a new treatment plan for me and she patiently explained what additional new tests she wanted to do and which new medications she would prescribe for me based on that additional information. She created a drawing which explained where the different medications would be active in controlling the cancer cells. That was helpful in me understanding the process. And Dr. McCann's positive attitude is so very important to me in maintaining my outlook. I'm so lucky that she is my oncologist!
