My Passion
Yvette, a longtime friend of mine, was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38. She passed away from breast cancer by the age of 48. At the beginning of those grueling 10 years, it started with a radical mastectomy. Next months of radiation, chemotherapy, and breast reconstruction. She was “clean” for a few years, then cancer was found in her other breast. Though her body was already compromised, full of radiation and chemicals, the decision for another mastectomy, with more radiation and chemotherapy was the chosen approach. So she went through another series of vigorous treatments as before. Sometime later Yvette was diagnosed as “cured”, no cancer found by her doctors. That diagnosis lasted only a few months, at which time she was diagnosed by her doctors that her whole body was full of cancer. It had metastasized. She fought it with a smile on her face and a positive attitude for her family and friends. However, that could only help her so much, but to no avail, she passed 8 months after she was told she was declared "cancer-free". She spent most of the last 10 years of her life sick, fatigued, and in pain from the “cure”; surgeries, drugs, radiation and chemo. Not able to enjoy her children, husband, family, or friends. I still am haunted that I didn't have all the tools and knowledge that I do now to help her. Now, I help my patients navigate breast health with the knowledge and tools I have.
