""...Ultimately, they discovered a clear cell carcinoma tumor, which had spread to the hip, spine, and thirteen places in the brain. Stage IV. I was quickly referred to Dr. Tung Shu for surgery… It was a successful surgery, easy recovery, a wonderful guy… Dr. Shu is the real deal. If he sees you in the hospital, he will remember you. He will stop and visit. If you are admitted for some reason, and he knows it, he will be by to check on you. I was lucky to find him. Again, he is one of my heroes. ."

"... Six days before my 78th birthday, Dr. Shu performed robotic surgery for removal of my cancerous prostate... Dr. Shu had all the confidence in the world and shared it with me... I have been in healthcare for over 60 years and worked with doctors everywhere from Korea, to being a surgical scrub nurse in the original Memorial Hospital, and he is the best doctor I have ever met... I am totally recovered with no after-effects in less than 5 months and continue my calling to help my fellow man thanks to God for using Dr. Shu!"

"My husband was doing some web searches on Dr. Shu and ran across your story... It really made me and my husband feel even more confident that I am in the best hands for my surgery. I can already tell that Dr. Shu is an amazing doctor and a good person all around... I knew I liked Dr. Shu the first day I met him when I realized he had a sense of humor... I am doing well and back to work full-time. The path report from Dr. Shu confirmed that I had RCC - clear cell carcinoma stage 2, so it was caught early... When I left the hospital, I was preparing myself for Chemo, but the surgeon called me five days later and said the full path report came back negative for cancer."
