Dr. Chandra has been very attentive to my cancer. She keeps me informed about how my immunotherapy is working and how my overall health is. She is proactive about getting me involved in my care regimen and always explains my current conditions and her prognosis as we move forward. Recently she told me I'm one of her success stories and she looks forward to my completion of the prescribed program for treatment of my cancer.
