Stories of Hope

Therese's Story

It was a cold winter day, as I was awaiting my turn for radiation treatment.

The lobby was unusually full. One of the radiation machines had malfunctioned so they were really behind. We were all dressed in the usual, just a hospital gown with arms wrapped tight to our chests warding off the cold.

Amy's Story

My name is Amy. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 at the age of 40 after my first mammogram.

I underwent a lumpectomy and 33 sessions of radiation.

Sandy's Story

On July 18th 2015 I was in the shower doing a self-breast examination when I felt a lump. When I returned home from traveling the following Monday, I called and made an appointment with my OBGYN. Back in 2004 I had a benign cyst which was removed. My first thought was I better go get this checked out.
