Bio

41 year old male self employeed. Wife and young daughter
I am currently with Dana Farber cancer center out of Milfed MA Dr McNulty and have Dr Nageatte Ibrahim, MD at Dana Farber in Boston.
I am frustrated with my past Dr, she did not give me an option of radiation before starting interferon and started my on it before having me see a radiologist. This caused me to start interferon then stop. I am also surprised by most doc’s – if you don’t fight for yourself they just move you along with as little infor as they can. I have learned you must inform yourself and speak up at every visit.
