| Hey. If you have cancer, try to get to the Boston VAMC. I was |
|
diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma in '06 and went to the Dana Farber Medical Center where a doc told me the best cancer care in the city was at the VA. I did and I'm now cancer free.

As is Dana Farber and many other hospitals in Boston, so they have some of the finest medical minds on staff. And the VA is great because it's evidence-based and well organized.
A dynamite combination. I'm glad they kicked your cancer's butt!

| 5. The guy who handled my case was head of oncology at Harvard Med |
|
when he wasn't at the VA. What a change from only a few years ago.
