In her written review she said I seemed to have problem remembering some of the conversation - the problem is I have profound hearing loss! I wear hearing aids. Some things that were said were not heard by me. Dr Blum needs to be aware of that!

I was very impressed with Dr. Blum. She answered every question I had and was very patient and kind. I appreciate her expertise with the specific type of lymphoma that I'm dealing with and I trust her advice. In my opinion, Emory has always been the preeminent health care organization in the state of GA. I am a native Georgian and Emory has always been my family's choice when expert medical care is needed. It was my pleasure to have the opportunity to meet with an Emory doctor for consultation on my health care plan.

I am unhappy with the timing of test and subsequent information. I met with Dr and planned chemo/radiation path. THEN had a pet scan which has shown more affected areas. This sequence gave me false hope by receiving only partial information and then learning the situation is more dire. As of now I haven't spoken further with my physician re: what these results mean to my initial diagnosis.
