      I felt so at ease with the oncologist at my 1st meeting/exam with her. Very open, gave me truthful and factual information about my cancer, and her recommendations. Drew _____ to explain the cancer and procedure recommended which was very helpful for me to understand and quell my anxiety about my diagnosis.
