I think my heart did a little free-fall flip for you. My gosh what a great specialist! Thank you for sharing this with us Kristina! Sending hugs and prayers to you, your husband and the girls. Relief, exhaustion, connection....not so alone, and everything in between tears. xo

Poignant, personal and profound! The lunchtime call by your new oncologist is a huge encouragement to those of us struggling through a life challenge while surrounded by strangers. I had at least two experiences like that during my leukemia adventure: Doctors went the extra mile to make calls or ask for opinions on my case. Learning of these supplied an enormous boost to my outlook.

Thank you. Really appreciate the perspective of another person in healthcare who sees it from the other side.
