My husband and I would like to recognize Andrew Berchuck, MD, (Dr. B) and his staff for the outstanding care we have received regarding my treatments for ovarian cancer.

Since 2000, I have been in and out of chemotherapy, undergoing various treatments -- some more aggressive than others. My caregivers have consistently shown great concern for the side effects from which I have suffered and have always been quick to respond to my needs.

Once when I was hospitalized over a weekend for severe dehydration and nausea, Dr. B was there to check on me Saturday and Sunday.

Without a doubt, the success in controlling my cancer is due to Dr. B, his wonderful staff, and Duke University Medical Center -- a truly winning combination! I'm currently on a chemo break and loving it!
