Patient Stories
Karen Lucas
Breast Cancer
Karen Lucas
Breast Cancer
For more than 20 years, I had been diligent about getting annual mammograms, as well as yearly visits to my OB/GYN. At 65 years old, during a routine mammogram in August 2012, my test showed calcification in both my breasts.
Patti Rose
Breast Cancer
Patti Rose
Breast Cancer
At 36, Patti Rose, a wife and mother to seven children, was shocked to learn she had a rare form of breast cancer. Because her husband works in construction and had done several projects for Fox Chase Cancer Center, they knew right away Fox Chase was the right place for Patti's treatment. At Fox Chase, Patti underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy, followed by a lumpectomy and additional surgery. The experience was extremely difficult, but Patti credits the staff at Fox Chase for giving her a positive outlook and helping her get through it. Today, she is cancer free and could not be more pleased with the treatment she received. "Fox Chase helped me to be positive. If I didn’t have that connection with doctors and nurses and even the security guard that I would talk to every time I was there, I think I would have felt more afraid," she said. "Knowing all those people were praying for me, thinking of me, and trying to get me through it made me feel like I could overcome it."

Breast Cancer
Because Laura Marblestone's mother lost her fight with breast cancer at the age of 43, Laura regularly performed breast self-exams. In 1991, she was diagnosed with encapsulated metastatic carcinoma, and a friend recommended she seek treatment at Fox Chase Cancer Center. After a mestectomy and a round of chemotherapy, Laura was considered cancer free, but in 2006, she found a lump in her right breast; the cancer had returned. She underwent a second mastectomy, chemotherapy, and breast reconstructive surgery. "Even though it took me three months to recover, I would do it again in a heartbeat," she said. "The doctors at Fox Chase were thorough--they didn't leave a stone unturned."

In 2002, Shari Lynn's husband, Mark, accepted a new job in another state. Together, Shari and Mark made the decision to move their family from New York to Pennsylvania. Shari was like many other moms in her situation. In preparing for the move, she scheduled routine doctor appointments on Long Island so they would not feel pressured to find new physicians right away.

Breast Cancer; Colorectal Cancer
When Marlene Haney turned 60 in 2013 she decided the best gift she could give herself was a physical she had been putting off. Self–employed and without supplemental health insurance, she says she had not be in a position to see a doctor for over a decade. When her right breast became tender, she realized a trip to the doctor was necessary.
