I was very impressed with Dr. Varkaris. He went over my whole situation with me in clear detail. In fact, it was more information than I had previously had about my tumor markers and it was all quite informative and I left feeling hopeful and feeling that maybe there would be something there that might be able to help me. But more testing was needed. So it's not definitive yet, but I just did in general feel good about the explanations I received from Dr. Varkaris. Thank you.
