My oncologist is a breast cancer survivor
Just want to share alittle something with all of you. My oncologist is a 13 year breast cancer survivor and is so passionate and hard working. She gets in clinical trials and has a state of the art treatment clinic and is always ready to share the latest breakthroughs with each of her patients. Recently there were 2 major breakthroughs although not for breat cancer this time she was so excited. I asked her if she thought that we were getting close to finding a cure and she lit up and said that we are getting things figured out and that it will not be all at once but gradual and feels strongly that it will happen. That made my day. To see her so passionate and excited about such a horrible disease made me feel at ease to be in her care. I hope this makes someone else feel more at ease also. Darlene
