Best Hematologist Springfield Near Me

lashawnda barnett: I was treated by Dr. Rosen 10 years ago for rare brain cancer. He is a very nice guy, but I wish he had explained more of the risks to me. Oncologists need to stop the whole "everything will be fine" attitude, especially with young people. He allowed me to make my own decision to continue or stop the chemotherapy because it was killing me. It was shrugged off and barely mentioned what problems this would have done LONGTERM from treatment. There was absolutely NOTHING mentioned about this amount of reduced function I'd have.. the frontal occipital lobe damage. I now have a pacemaker, severe memory issues, tangled blood vessels in my brain, and so many physical problems I would have never sought treatment if I knew there was a possibility of this much decline. Everyday I feel I am slipping away. Never told me as an adult with Medulloblastoma usually lasts longer without recurrence, but more likely to die from other problems either.
