Today was my last appointment with Dr. Magnuson, I have now step up to the Survivorship Program. I want to thank Dr. Magnuson and her team for wonderful and caring care over the last 6 years. They have made having cancer so much easier to deal with. They are always there checking in on me and how I am doing. I will truly miss seeing them. And, no offense, I hope I never have to see them again!
