“Being able to access a mobile screening unit at my workplace saved my life.”
“I’m now 75 and three years cancer free. It can happen. It’s a very aggressive, rare cancer. But I’m here, and you can be too.”
“I’d gotten my first lumpectomy at Fox Chase Cancer Center after hearing about its great reputation, and I was impressed by the care I received there. I knew that’s where I wanted to go for treatment this time, too."
“The big thing is talking about it and helping someone else, it’s all about paying it forward.”
“Throughout this whole ordeal, I felt very lucky, because I was secure in the knowledge that Fox Chase knew what they were doing.”
“I lost my hair, but I never even got sick, which I was fully expecting to happen. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it never did."
“Two major life-changing surgeries within three months! I feel like I got an answered prayer.”
"I’m still getting used to my new normal."
“Once you are a part of the Fox Chase family, you’re a part of a bigger experience, and I encourage everyone to find a way to give back.”
I felt like the people at Fox Chase saw me as a human being, not just a cancer case or a number.
"I was at Fox Chase every day, but I never complained. This institution and these people were saving my life. I felt deep respect for my doctors and the institution, and was grateful the entire time, even when things got hard."
It means everything to me that I get to be there for all their milestones. I don’t want to miss a thing.
