Because these abnormalities weren't indicators of blood Cancer for Dr. Tuan, he totally dismissed my symptoms and could not be bothered with me. When I saw him in his large plush office, which wasn't an exam room but more like an attorney's office, he was sitting at his desk looking at the computer screen with his back towards me the whole time. When I asked him about my Wt. Loss, he said it was b/c I had Gastritis, which my GI specialist didn't say that was the case! I told him so.

A Warning to Patients referred to see Dr. Tuan: Unless you've been diagnosed with or have blood test results that are obvious indicators of Cancer, he will Not Care about the Abnormalities in your Blood nor the Symptoms you are suffering from. He is NOT the Dr. to see if you need to see a Hematologist outside of having Cancer. Instead of practicing as a 'Hematologist,' Dr. Tuan needs to make it clear that he is really an 'Oncologist.' He Should Not be calling himself a 'Hematologist,' because a REAL Hematologist looks into ALL Abnormalities of the Blood, NOT just those that are an indicator of Cancer.

Then I thought, well, why wouldn't it be me? Enter Dr. Lee Char. Based in SF, I chose her to be my cancer surgeon not only based on her track record but the fact that she also collaborates with my plastic surgeon, Dr. Kind. Not only does she have a positive bedside manner, but she is a genuinely thoughtful and kind individual. I won't get into the gory details, the surgery was a success - as much as one could have. Clean margins, and no issues with the removal of the sentinel lymph node. Whether or not chemotherapy is warranted remains to be seen but so far so good. While I was recovering at CPMC (aka California Pacific Medical Center) she would drop by to see how I was doing and I knew that I was in good hands. Incidentally, she is the second breast cancer surgeon I had seen for my case and I am so glad I went with her.

She was absolutely amazing -- kind, responsive, meticulous in getting clean margins, and an incredibly clear, patient communicator who took the time to answer all my questions (crazy fast response time!) and explain everything to me. Her office staff was also very helpful! I had a bad panic attack the day before surgery and they were so reassuring about how normal this was and helped prescribe something for anti anxiety which got me through that last 24 hrs. Also, I think in every interaction I've had with Dr. Lee Char she's been smiling and calm, even right before the surgery, which goes a long way in making a scary and major procedure easier to get through. Super grateful she was my surgeon and can't recommend more strongly!

Lewis Leng's scheduling practices are a joke. I mean how do you end up canceling an appointment…read morethree times in a row last minute?? Do you know how frustrating that is to re-arrange your schedule three times to try to make one appointment? He was supposed to see my mom for a tumor. (Thankfully, it was benign, which we already knew, but protocol is to have the diagnosis confirmed by a neurosurgeon.) But our appointments were triply postponed because of so-called emergency surgeries. When we finally were able to see him, I questioned him about his scheduling, and he simply stated that it was the nature of neurosurgery. If he doesn't operate on a patient right away, "that patient will die." (His very words.) He never followed that assertion with the only statement which could possibly justify this urgency: There is a shortage of neurosurgeons (either in the Bay Area or his medical group). I pressed him again, and he never said it. So I suspected it wasn't the case. One of my best friends is also a surgeon in the Bay Area, so I'm pretty familiar with the demands on a surgeon's schedule. True he isn't a neurosurgeon, but he obviously knows those who are and the field as a whole. When I told my friend what my mom had to endure and asked him if this were typical of neurosurgery, my friend immediately answered, "He shouldn't be scheduling patients to be seen in clinic by him and being on-call in the hospital at the same time." Exactly! Just have one of your fellow neurosurgeons cover the ER, while you take care of your appointments, like other surgeons do! My friend also brought up another valid possibility. He said that since my mom wouldn't require surgery and Leng's insurance reimbursement would be minimal compared to a surgery, it's not unreasonable to believe that he was uninterested in seeing her...and that Leng "probably has his practice workflow designed to max income" to quote my friend. I was appalled by this possibility. But it makes tragic sense that this is how some doctors operate (pun unintended). And it makes total sense to me that that's likely how Lewis Leng operates. Maybe if you are "fortunate" enough to require neurosurgery, Leng will see you at your appointed time. Otherwise you are probably "out of luck." I asked to meet the manager of the department to make a complaint. To my surprise, she not only listened to my complaint, but asked if I could put it in writing because she was tired of having to deal with all the patients who had the same complaint! (And I did exactly as she suggested.) So if you have a choice, I highly recommend you seek another neurosurgeon. Even if you do need surgery, you have to wonder whose best interest would Leng have in mind. Yours...or his?

When the tumor grew and surgery became necessary, I felt confident I was in the best hands.

She'll walk you to the next room or to chemo. For some people, I am sure this feels really good. The problem is when something goes wrong or if you have different needs. From a medical standpoint, she delayed my surgery by months while I took AIs only. That delay increased my risk of recurrence. I am sure she could now backpedal and claim some BS reason for that, but there is no good excuse. Nor did we have a real discussion about it. I think she assumed I was afraid of surgery. I was not. I wanted to get this done and over asap. With her forced persona, she does not see the individual patient; she sees who she expects you to be. When what you say does not fit her limited view, she disregards it or she'll make fun of you for it. If you have major side effects from chemo, radiation, surgery or meds, her toolbox is almost empty. Again she falls back on her faux compassion, but she does not look for better medical options. If you end up hospitalized after each chemo, don't expect anything beyond her saying how she knows it is hard for you, a hand on your knee, and "don't worry; we'll get through this together." Better doctors evaluate the individual patient, take into account their medical issues, and form a plan. It may not resolve everything, but they try. She does not try. She is exceptionally lazy, taking the easiest treatment path for her without ever looking into options. I passed out in the office due to extremely low blood pressure from dehydration. The nurse congratulated me on my "little nap." When I told the doctor about this, I was called "dramatic" and "ridiculous". She laughed at me. If you have a cancer that responds well to standard treatment and you are able to handle those treatments well, you'll be fine. If you are someone who does not react well to fake sincerity or, if you have major issues and want real answers and options, she is not for you. I am in a support group. We had an assignment to draw our monster. The counselor expected us to draw a vision of our cancer. I realized I was drawing Dr. Jeske. I survived the cancer. She was the monster in my story because of all of the times I was mocked, belittled, and infantilized, the poor quality of care she actually provided, and her continuing to do things that I explicitly asked her to not do.
