I have used Sam at Medstay for almost a year and a half and he has made life so much simpler for me as I have to frequently travel to Duke for a vaccine trial. My story was I was diagnosed with a Stage 4 Glioblastoma Brain Tumor on 12/16/09. No one in Jax., Fl would touch me as it was on my front right lobe and crossing over to the left side. There was only one surgeon that wanted to even do a biopsy. We researched my options and found Dr. Alan Friedman at Duke, who was touted as "The Neurosurgeon" to go to. We got an appointment with him the following Tuesday, 12/22/09, and scheduled surgery for 12/31/09. To make a long story short, he got 95%-98% of the tumor out and six weeks of radiation and oral chemotherapy pills got the rest. It is now coming up on my year and a half clean MRI's and I return back to Duke every month as I qualified for a vaccine trial. Personally, I will not do anything without going through Duke Hospital. All this time, the last thing I wanted to think about was arrangements for me and my family. Duke put us in touch with Sam and we don't stay anywhere but the Washington Duke. They are accomodating, reasonably priced, and the service is the best. I hope the FDA will approve my vaccine to be administered in Florida soon but, in the meantime, am happy to let Sam put me up in a great place and have Duke take care of any medical needs I may have.
