    Dr. Worthington is one of the most compassionate and caring doctors I have ever met. She explained solutions to my problem extensively. She said let's start with the least evasive solutions and go up if needed. She contacted my oncologist immediately to see if he agreed with medication she wanted to prescribe. At 6:30 last night she was texting me to let me know the oncologist had approved the meds.
