What Patients Have to Say About Us I am a 32 year old male. I was diagnosed with multicentric Castleman’s Disease. I have an enlarged spleen that we were worried about for some time. When we finally got the diagnosis, I didn't know what to do. My local oncologist wanted to "wait and see". This didn't sit well with my family. So at the suggestion of Dr. Frits Van Rhee, we took the trip to UAMS. What a great place. We could not believe the level of organization. These people are true saviors. My experience could not have been better. I want to tell anyone who is diagnosed and is thinking of going to UAMS, GO. You will not be disappointed. These people are the best. Corey Schoenrock One year ago today I could barely walk to the entrance to the ACRC. We travel 935 miles one way to be there. Today, I played 18 holes of golf for the third time in three weeks and yes, I was tired and my legs hurt. But, I played and plan to play next week and the week after. I beat two guys that are 25 and 35 years younger than me! I doubt that I would have played if not for the bone marrow biopsies and resulting treatment in the clinical studies. At age 66 I did not think I had much to look forward to, but with Dr. Barlogie and others and their dedication to patient care and finding a cure for multiple myeloma, I got a new lease on life. Let me encourage you to focus on the results and the fact that the doctors, professors and scientists are dedicated to finding a cure. It is our job to stay alive with a positive, active mindset to help them and those of us now and in the future that have or will have multiple myeloma. - Joe Downing, Raleigh, North Carolina An investment in the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy will be an investment in my future. I have all the confidence in the world in Dr. Barlogie and his staff to cure Multiple Myeloma patients like myself. - Lucia Dougherty, Miami, Florida We would like to thank everyone who had a part in Don's treatment at your facility. We started our journey in December of 1998 and our experiences there with all our chemo, stem cell collection, and two transplants was good. We are very happy our doctor at the Bruno Cancer Center in Birmingham sent us to you. We met many wonderful people along the way, some we have become close friends with. Not only was your facility wonderful but God intervened on Don's behalf many times along the way. He is working through the medical staff of doctors and nurses to help people get well again. Thanks be to God and the ACRC. - Don and Annette Blaylock, Alabama "Our doctor recommended we go to
Little Rock and now we recommend UAMS to others. Everyone here
is very friendly, smiling, very helpful. Being from out of the
country, we had to fax information back and forth. Everything
went smoothly. Our patient coordinator was great. She took care
of us." Other comments… This program is universally rated "outstanding" due to the strikingly innovative quality of the research.
