“Dr. Axel Shum is the FIRST docto...”
Dr. Axel Shum is the FIRST doctor in the since my cancer radiation treatment OVER 12 years ago that has given me good news where he was confident he could help solve one of the MANY side effects of radiation to the head and neck. He said he doesn't see the radiation scaring in my mouth and throat/neck being a problem with getting Inspire for sleep apnea (likely caused/further aggravated by radiation to head and neck). I actually cried in the parking lot, feeling hope after every other doctor has told me "I can't help you." Dr. Shum's "I think you're a great candidate." means more than he will ever know. (Even if I don't qualify for inspire, I am still so very grateful to Dr. Shum for meeting with me.)
