““I was referred to Central Georgia Cancer Care after an abnormal routine blood test. Dr Linda Hendricks quickly and effectively diagnosed me with a rare bone marrow cancer. I began chemotherapy ten days later and after four chemo cycles I feel better physically than I have in over a year and my lab tests have greatly improved. Central Georgia Cancer Care is a great place with a wonderful, caring staff that has given me hope. They made a positive difference to me and to my family and we are so thankful they are in our community.” – Dana
