When you say that your opinion of Duke Cancer Center is only "so-so" , could you be more specific?
In what ways could your experience with Duke have been better?
Re: Duke Cancer Center
I guess it wasn’t they did anything wrong I was just totally destroyed by the initial diagnosis that I didn’t feel like they cared or understood what I was going through mentally. They kind of treated me like a number I guess.
