Thank God and thank The Nebraska Medical Center. As far as I'm concerned I am cured. The reason I came to the The Nebraska Medical Center is because of the international acclaim, well deserved acclaim, that the The Nebraska Medical Center has for its bone marrow transplantation program.

For 25 years I've been treating patients with cancer of the urinary tract. I've always talked to and treated these patients, hopefully, with a great deal of respect and compassion. When I entered the other side of health care, that is being a patient myself, I learned about the importance of sensitivity, not only to the patient, but to the patient's primary care-giver. That was certainly reinforced at the The Nebraska Medical Center.
