True or False: A blood test can tell if cancer is “gone...”

False! 🚫 ctDNA blood tests can sometimes detect tiny traces and help estimate risk, but they’re not perfect and don’t replace your full follow-up plan.

Today is my last day practicing oncology in Shreveport.

Since 2010, it has been a privilege to care for this community. Many of you trusted me during some of the hardest moments of your lives—and that is something I will never take lightly.

I’m now shifting my practice to Ruston and Monroe. This next step is about building something meaningful for those communities—an oncology practice that delivers the level of care they deserve.

I know this transition may be difficult for some of my patients in Shreveport, and I’m truly sorry for that. Please know you are in excellent hands with my partner, Dr. Koticha.

I’m grateful for the years we shared. And I’m looking forward to what comes next.

👇 As an oncologist, here are 3 cancer symptoms that often get called “hormones”… (but deserve attention if they’re new, persistent, or worsening):

1️⃣ Bloating that doesn’t go away or feeling full quickly.
2️⃣ Bleeding changes - bleeding between periods, heavier/longer periods, or bleeding after s*x.
3️⃣ Fatigue that feels different than your normal tired and doesn’t improve with rest.

Not to scare you, to help you act early. If any of these sound familiar, make a real appointment and get clarity. I always have your back!

For National Doctors’ Day on Monday, my friend Jana Elkins at Northeast Imaging stopped by with treats and kind wishes, and it meant more than she probably knew.

Medicine is about more than treatment plans and test results, it is also about people, encouragement, and the community that surrounds us.

I’m grateful to serve North Louisiana and to do this work with heart and purpose. 💙
