Starting treatment is unpleasant, unpredictable and downright scary. Glee McGinley, RN, has made every step of the way a tad more tolerable. She is comforting, caring, compassionate and a very knowledgeable person. I had a bad reaction from my first treatment. Glee continues to moderate me even at my seventh treatment. I’m not sure if I would be able to hang in there if it wasn't for her. She made this situation better for what it is. She truly cares about each and every one of us.
