Good conversation in a short period answering my questions and letting me know where I am in my battle with Leukemias MDS.

June 2024

Dr. Alsfeld always makes me feel like he is looking at me as a person, not just a number or a statistic for research purposes. Unlike prior treatment by a "team", where I felt like I was being talked about and being asked a lot of questions, but no one was talking to me or giving me feedback. During the last hospital stay, I asked to speak with a Dr. And nurses would just say that they were following the doctors' orders. I had no idea that They talked to a family member and I was left out. I was given shots by a male nurse at night and he refused to tell me who he was and what it was for. Dr. Alsfeld was the one doctor on the team that I remember, who actually smiled and spoke with me. He was the only one who made me feel like he was treating me and not just treating the disease.
