“I felt that I was in the hands of a knowledgeable and extremely competent surgeon at a superior facility.”
“I follow up with people and act as a mentor. I let them know they are able to contact me at any time, and I can offer them peace of mind from someone who has been where they are headed.”
“Being defeated is a matter of perspective and will. I feel that no matter how serious the illness is, I can overcome it with the right help and the right attitude."
"I often share my story and always encourage people who feel something is wrong to go to the doctor to get checked out. If you wait too long, it may be too late. I am thankful that I took that advice."
“I feel supported by Fox Chase; they are family.”
“I have Jesus on my side, the big guy. Whatever will be will be, and I have the best hospital, the best doctors, and the absolute best nurses.”
“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."
“That’s why it matters where you start, it matters who you have on your team, and it matters what you take into that journey.”
"I have so much respect for Dr. Chen because he keeps me going. He is such a pleasant guy who is always very calm."
“You’d think being at a cancer center, I’d run into a few cranky people along the way, but the number of people like that at Fox Chase was exactly zero. It was remarkable.”
