It's a bummer to have cancer... but thankful that OSF found it and thankful for doctors like Dr. Ryan. I have ONLY heard good things about him. I am thankful that he comes to Escanaba as I am 72 and live alone!

At the time I felt bad for doctor Ryan because I was so overwhelmed by my diagnosis. It was hard to stay focused and he knew it. He was patient with me though, and did what he could even know my brain had checked out.
