09/04/2024

Dr. Farley heard me from the first time ever meeting her. She has included me in every discussion and decision regarding my DCIS in my left breast and other findings. She doesn't belittle me when I ask questions, she explains everything in terms that I can understand. Dr. Farley shows concern about my mental health since the former doctor from last year 2023 handling my breast cancer diagnosis was so RUDE from start to after the surgery, causing me to have very crippling anxiety, major depression and other. My visits are still very stressful and hard to get through. But the few visits with Dr. Farley, It Is becoming a little bit more manageable. Because I know Dr. Farley will patiently talk me through all things that are or are not found during my follow up appointments.

07/13/2024

She spoke incredibly quickly, and I don't feel like my life, or desires for my treatment were ever considered. They were certainly not asked about which is a shame because it would have saved her a lot of time and actually led to helpful conversation between patient and doctor, not just the doctor telling the patient what the doctor was going to do. It made me very aware that medicine is an assembly line, and some how I ended up on the assembly line.
