It’s been 14 years since Dr. Kovach designed and administered my treatment for stage 4 cancer. He said it was an aggressive plan but I never had any pain or nausea. Then worked through radiation. Thought I would never make it but here I am after 14 years. I am thankful to Dr. Kovach for his knowledge and perseverance and getting me through the process.
