Doctor Rocardo is amazing! It's the whole system of waiting for my stage 2 cancer to get worst before anything is done is very concerning. I understand I am not the only person being care for but I do hope there's more urgency. I was diagnosed with cancer for over a month, all testing and labs are done, I just need to start my treatment!! |
