My mother was treated for breast cancer at the Leavey Cancer Center, and severely suffered. For whatever reason, she was not given a port for her initial chemotherapy session; they administered it into her arm. She was left her with a three inch gaping hole in her arm due to infiltration. I begged her to seek treatment elsewhere and sue this place, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She died less than a year and a half after her diagnosis and was in severe pain the entire time. The majority of pain was due to her arm and the number of surgeries she had to undergo because of it. My mother did not need to suffer MORE pain in addition to the cancer itself. I implore, no, BEG anyone who is diagnosed with cancer to seek treatment elsewhere.\r
