During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we introduce you to two women who walked through the doors of our Hollis Cancer Center and conquered breast cancer.
- Meet DeAnne Abell and hear her breast cancer story.
“I wasn’t sure how to feel when I found out I had cancer. I remember thinking, ‘Am I going to lose my hair?’ I finally was talking to a nurse later that day, who spoke candidly and said, ‘Yes, you’re going to lose your hair.’ That’s when I broke down. I though, ‘OK, well, this is real.'”
- Meet Dorothy Cheshire and read about the clinical cancer trial that helped save her life.
“If I hadn’t gotten (the combination of treatments), I probably would have gotten a recurrence. The research they do is a big part of why I’m here today.”
