I had a great social worker working along side a great oncologist. The social worker was also a nurse and somebody who saved many lives by helping to sort through the foundations to get copay assistance and helped find free transportation to treatments.

It was Wiltshire Oncology West Covina, social worker Shelley. Unfortunately, City of Hope bought out Wiltshire Oncology many years ago, and fired Shelly to save costs. The change put a lot of new rules and restrictions regarding "off label meds" and I could not get one of my prescriptions anymore. I was shocked. I ran away as far as I could immediately that takeover so I could continue my treatments elsewhere.
