Diane Check
Diane Check
After a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis, Diane Check sought treatment at Fox Chase Cancer Center. With the help of Dr. Marcia Boraas of Fox Chase and Dr. Shelly Hayes of Fox Chase Cancer Center Buckingham, Diane beat breast cancer through chemotherapy and a double mastectomy.

I had done my own research and learned that my outcome would be the same whether I had a lumpectomy and radiation or a radical mastectomy. I would gladly have driven to the main campus in Philadelphia, if needed, but I was able to leave home and arrive at Fox Chase Cancer Center Buckingham within 15 minutes or less.

Suzanne Buck
I have lived with cancer since 1989, when I was first diagnosed with stage 1 ovarian cancer. Although I’d had a full hysterectomy, the ovarian cancer cells migrated to my colon in 1993 and then to my liver in 1996. With each new diagnosis I underwent surgery and six months of chemotherapy at my local hospital in the Poconos, about two hours north of Philadelphia.

Stephanie Haney was shocked when she learned she had terminal lung cancer at the age of 39, but was determined to do everything she possibly could to find the best treatment available. After undergoing treatment at a hospital near her home, she continued her research, when she came across a clinical trial being offered at Fox Chase Cancer Center that targeted a specific genetic mutation she carried. Following the completion of the clinical trial, she also underwent radiation therapy through the use of Cyberknife radiation at Fox Chase Buckingham. Today, Stephanie's condition is now monitored and managed at a hospital near her home. "It is important to me that I receive the most progressive treatments possible to sustain my quality of life and my time with my children," she said. "I am extremely grateful for the care and individual attention I received at Fox Chase. Thanks to the incredible team there, I am an active participant in my life, and I don’t intend to let lung cancer get in the way of that."

Being diagnosed and treated for cancer has certainly has made me treasure every day and the experiences that come with each day. When you are diagnosed with cancer, it is important to keep a positive attitude, to surround yourself with caring, loving people, and to develop a good support system.

Research Interests
I am interested in the effects of respiration on tumor motion in the lung, breast, and abdomen and in utilizing image-guidance to improve the accuracy and efficacy of radiation to these areas. I have also studied parameters for treatment decisions for salvage radiation after prostatectomy for recurrent prostate cancer and the risk of lymphedema in breast cancer patients treated with radiation after lumpectomy.

A wonderful experience. I was had some concerns and I'm very, very thankful that she listened, and we talked about the vaccine, and also about my health in general. Never felt like I was rushed or anything that I said was not important. It was a great follow up and I'm so thankful for Dr. Sally Hayes as my radiologist.

I have always had a good experience at this office. Receptionist and nurses and Dr. Hayes are excellent. I feel that they have always had the time to listen to me and help me with care. It is a great office to go to for follow up care. It has almost been five years since I had radiation at this location. I would highly recommend to anyone that need radiation oncology as the place to go in Bucks County.
