Reviews
I didn't learned a great deal about possible avenues open to me in terms of my medical condition - just the bog standard of chemo therapy sessions with very little chances of success even though other centres like the London Clinic offer innovative new treatments with much higher success rates - these possible solutions were never mentioned by Dr Falk.
