Interested in understanding more about my self medicating with repurposed drugs

This provider was knowledgeable and kind. The fact that I have cancer and need this extensive surgery is anxiety-provoking, which has nothing to do with the provider, but makes this a difficult experience.

This was the very first time I'd met the provider & I was very pleased & impressed. My wife had a question for the provider after looking at the test results shown on the portal. She sent a message via the portal to the provider & he responded in a very timely manner & my wife was very impressed, as he answered her questions with clarity.
