      Mische was the nurse practitioner who saw me first. She was very thorough in explaining my disease and the possible treatments. Dr Burke saw me after. She seemed unhurried and compassionate. She was able to answer all of our questions completely. She even consulted with the oncologist for answers that she was unsure of.
