Larry’s Cancer Care Story
Would You Cross the River to Kentucky for Cancer Care?
Larry began his cancer treatment in Cincinnati. But within a few weeks, he realized he needed a change. The long-time Anderson Township resident called the Yung Family Cancer Center at St. Elizabeth — Edgewood. He felt shocked when Doug Flora, MD, Executive Medical Director of Oncology Services at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, spent an hour talking to him.
Larry shares why he decided to switch to St. Elizabeth, even though it was a 25-minute drive from home.
Q: Why Did You Switch Your Cancer Care to St. Elizabeth?
The first place I got care was a sad place to be. I felt like I was just part of a herd of cattle. When my doctor gave me my treatment plan, it was basic information without any guidance.
But at St. Elizabeth, Dr. Doug gives me guidance, he tells me what my next step is. He tells me what drugs I’m taking. The nurses do the same thing. You got the best nurses there ever was. It’s a great place to come — there’s a family presence.
