Charles E Gaba, MD

I went in to the doctor with an extremely severe chest pain (at first triggered by alcohol) and a swollen lymph node on my neck. He ignored the lymph node because it was not tender to the touch and gave me medicine for heartburn. I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a simple biopsy of the lymph node would have told us that instead of months of tests from several different specialists that eventually lead me to a general surgeon that was going to take out my gallbladder (which I have still not had taken out because it was not the problem). She was the one that finally advised us for a biopsy of the lymph node. I credit her for possibly saving my life. What Dr. Gaba shrugged off was cancer. It's a big deal to me.
