PATIENT STORIES
Amazing Things are Happening Here
I feel like it’s so important to tell my story because there are so many younger women being diagnosed with breast cancer. It can feel like your life is ending. But I was able to move on.
This treatment has given me a number of years of complete health. It’s not just that I’m here sort of surviving, I’m back to 100 percent of where I was before this ever happened.
