Question
Hi
Just recently moved from New Jersey to Virginia (Roanoke area below Lynchburg) and I am looking for recommendations for doctors to follow my health. I only have 2 Herceptin treatments left and will begin looking after that to change to doctors here. Does anyone live in the area or have an idea how I can find a decent, compassionate, thorough doctor. Thanks
Tracy
