I'm thankful for the thorough and thoughtful care I received. I was anxious and felt heard and reassured that all the care I needed would be provided.

Provider allowed time for discussion and my questions. I never felt rushed

Dr. Asya is very compassionate and attentive. She is very easy to understand and very professional. She is also very knowledgeable and pleasant. Dr. Asya took the time to answer all the questions I had and helped me to schedule additional tests that I needed very promptly. I really appreciate what she did for me.

I love the BM transplant team at FCCC. Everyone is knowledgeable, friendly, understanding. They smile when they get you in the waiting room to go back. [...] I'm very thankful to the responsiveness of Dr. Varshavsky and her intelligence . I agree that 10 mg LENALIDAMIDE is the preferred maintenance does. But if it's too much for my body, I'm very thankful for smart doctors who are willing to be creative and do our own clinical trial according to what's already been tested. I'm also thankful that I could have my vaccinations bundled there on three visits to acquire my immunizations that were lost during transplant. Thanks to the tricks of Tylenol, prophylactically, broccoli, and berries. I did not experience any side effects.
