In patients' words
"The staff were all very helpfully and kind, the center was very clean and comfortable. ... Going into treatment 6 months now and we had to tell the doctors every time we needed a scan thinking the cancer spread. ... Cancer went untreated while treatments failed. Delays in between treatments which caused cancer to get aggressive."
— Patient review (CTCA Philadelphia)"My three day orientation overall was good, really good……but it was emotionally and physically EXHAUSTING. ... The truth is that while they DO have a sort of chinese menu of 1 different machines for radiation and other different approaches to tackle cancer like Immunotherapy…..the important factor to know is that YOUR type of cancer and typical cancer strategy used for it may not call for using any of these “new” or “Innovative” approaches."
