I’m David Prescott. I’m 69 years old. I’ll be 69 and half. At the beginning of life you measure things in half years and you begin to do that at the end as well.

I went…was referred to New Hampshire Oncology and I found that, from speaking with a cancer nurse, that I had the worst form of lymphoma, which is, rather than the Hodgkins Lymphoma which is treatable, mine is the regular lymphoma, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and it appears that after going for the cat-scan that I had level 4. That is, it had spread to both lungs and possibly to my liver and level 4 is, I found, a virtual death sentence. The odds were not very much in my favor of having a happy outcome because of the spread of the disease and this was the very first indication that I had that made me aware that I had any problem, was this tiny pain that was not of very great significance in my groin in August of 2002.

I think that this is an extraordinary practice, New Hampshire Oncology. There are nurses there that are so wonderful that one…there’s one in particular that I think of as an angel sent down by God in heaven to look after people in need. She is, with no exaggeration, that kind and that warm and that caring. So, the nursing experience is simply fabulous at this facility and, of course, when you’re very sick and particularly when you’re alone, living alone as I was, there were some extra services that were thrown in, you might say, because of the caring of the staff, that would not have occurred in other practices anywhere.

So, I hold this practice in the highest regard and think that if you must be unfortunate enough to have to have cancer, there isn’t a better place imaginable to me to go to deal with it.

I found it saved my life. It’s as simple as that.
