Dr. Alexander Miller, M.D., F.A.C.S., Surgical Oncology From the day I started medical school, I have always felt it was a privilege to be involved in medical care. I chose to be a cancer surgeon in order to participate in meaningful ways in the lives of cancer patients. It has been an honor to assist Mrs. Wright in her journey to overcome cancer and take back her life. Mrs. Wright?s story is one of triumph and perseverance mixed with humor and recognition of the power of the human spirit, and I am lucky to have been a witness to it. Dr. Terry Grover, DO, Board Certified Internal Medicine Charaleen has chronicled her journey through the ups and downs of breast cancer treatment. After reading her thoughts, every woman facing this battle should be encouraged to choose a positive attitude, find knowledgeable physicians to whom you can relate, follow appropriate breast cancer screening recommendations, and keep a personal journal to record your highs and lows, the good and bad. Dealing with cancer can be an overwhelming process, but following these steps can provide comfort along the way. Dr. Marisa Sandera, MD, Medical Oncologist I feel that it is an honor and privilege to care for cancer patients of all ages, in every stage of disease, including the end of life. It is such a pleasure to have patients like Charaleen because it makes the workday interesting, fun, and so inspiring. This story of Charaleen?s journey through breast cancer treatment highlights the many emotional facets encountered during a life-altering experience. The feelings shared with such delightful humor are truly beautiful as we experience this through Charaleen?s mind and heart.
