I’ve always had problems with lumps. When I lived in Connecticut, they would aspirate them. When I moved to New Hampshire, they didn’t seem to do that kind of practice, so it was always a call back. This time when there was a call back, you just had that gut feeling that this was not going to be good. I would categorize myself today as very, very lucky. Very, very lucky to have had the best care that I could even imagine. I’m not into doctors. I’m not into hospitals. I hate both of them, but when I first met with Dr. Briccetti, he took almost two and a half to three hours with me. I’ve never, ever, ever had that kind of time with a doctor before. My encounters were absolutely unbelievable. From being greeted by Nicki at the front desk, always cheerful, always has candy, to Maria who would…was the only person that I would allow to take my blood, because I have such a fear of needles, and she always calmed me through the entire process. And, Dr. Mike, when Dr. Briccetti wasn’t around was, he was just super. You know, all of them were professional, but I think, besides Dr. Brccetti, my two favorites were Maria and Glenna. I would say that Glenna, she was the one that administrated chemo, and she is a chemo goddess, who can deliver in such a way that you’re not fearful. You’re totally relaxed. She just has a certain way about her that was very comforting. The first thing that I would say to somebody is, if at all possible, don’t be scared. Take a deep breath. I would tell them that you will be in the best hands ever from start to finish. Even if it’s calling at one o’clock or two o’clock in the morning with pain, they will respond immediately. They will let you know and they are very concerned about any type of side effects and what you can do about them. And they will help you all the way. They will hold your hand. They will give you hugs. They are wonderful! The best thing about New Hampshire Oncology is, people are first. < Back to testimonials |
