    I would definitely recommend Dr. Cham. I just hope I don't have too.

    I saw Dr. Cham as a second opinion. She was very thorough, obviously smart and knew her stuff but also took my biopsy to the tumor board for their input. I very much appreciate the thoroughness and her explanations of the nuances of my biopsy. She didn't just give my a one-size-fits-all answer of you need to start chemo' with minimal explanation, which was the unfortunate experience I had with my first oncologist. I am very grateful to Dr. Cham, and if it turns out that I DO need chemo, I will feel much more comfortable with her than my previous doctor.
