Personal Statement

Lowell Anthony listens to Geri's heart during a followup visit.

It takes a village to treat cancer, so when the patient is initially evaluated at Markey Cancer Center, a care plan is developed across specialties. So it's more encompassing than just a single visit to one specialist who treats cancer. Right now in oncology, the most exciting development is immunotherapy. Our challenge is to find out how we integrate this into other forms of how we treat cancer; both from other medicine, other drugs and potentially other modalities such as radiation.

    The conversation made me feel like my chart was not reviewed. He had none of my referring providers information. Asked me if I wanted to do labs to be thorough and if I wanted to change medication. I like feeling involved but I didn't feel like I should be making those determinations. Did not like that he knew very little about my specific situation and recent or extended history as I'm had multiple other growths. Also did not have my genetic testing.

      Dr Anthony, Dr Alnimer, Rachel Miller, Dana and staff were excellent. They listened to me, gave feedback, explained my condition and developed a plan of action all during my first appointment. With this illness, I have experience with several other doctors and can say that the UK Markey group I saw are top notch!
