Talk to Dr. Akgulian

I spent many hours on the Internet researching lung cancer and oncologists. There are only about 2 dozen oncologists in the state of Wisconsin that specialize in lung cancer. One of them is in Kenosha, part-time, and is part of a group called Oncology Alliance. His name is Dr. Syed N. Haider. Per the Internet he had good credentials and recommendations. He was also Dr. Akgulian's choice.

I figured that I would be needing surgery and the choice of a surgeon was more critical than that of an oncologist.

Dr. Akgulian also told me the name of the cancer is adenocarcinoma. It is a non-small cell lung cancer and is the most common for both smokers and non-smokers.
