    Me parece increΓ­ble encontrar un doctor que sea amable, que se tome el tiempo de escucharte y de responder todas tus dudas, que te explique detalladamente lo que tienes y como serΓ‘ el tratamiento. Sentir empatΓ­a de tu doctor cuando tienes mucho miedo a todo lo que conlleva una enfermedad es absolutamente todo. Me sentΓ­ muy segura y confiada despuΓ©s de hablar con ella.
