Alison Kovalchik
In 2013, Alison Kovalchik learned she carried the BRCA1 mutation that increases the risk for developing breast cancer. Because she already had a number of other health issues, she was very worried about her options for preventive treatment. Upon the recommendation of her doctor, Alison sought answers from a specialist at Fox Chase Cancer Center, where she later had preventive surgery. She was assigned to a team of physicians from several different departments who all worked together to form an individualized treatment plan to ensure the best outcome. "Even though Fox Chase is a cancer center, its staff considers the patient as a whole person, which is something I hadn’t encountered elsewhere, and, to me, it is a true miracle," Alison said. "Fox Chase Cancer Center’s doctors worked as a team to treat me...I trust my team at Fox Chase. My doctors gave me my life back—in all ways, not only with the BRCA mutation risk. I know I’m in the best hands for my care."

Her gastroenterologist performed a PET scan which revealed a rare kind of cancer, a mucosal melanoma. “At that point, my urologist admitted 'this is beyond me. You need to go somewhere else',” she recalled.

"On October 29, 2012, I thought I had a bad case of the flu. I had slight pains on the right side and was really tired. I decided to go to the local hospital for a checkup and that’s when everything in my world started to change. I ended up with emergency surgery that day for an appendectomy. Afterwards my surgeon, Dr. Carlos Villarreal, and my best friend, Dr. Richard Bindie, told me that if I had waited a couple more hours I would have been dead. Dr.

Marion Utain recalls hearing the worst news she could imagine: she had breast cancer. And then, as she tells the story, the miracles started. A month after her annual gynecological exam in November 2011 at 46, Marion felt a lump in her left breast. She made an appointment to see her doctor the next day.

I came for a 2nd opinion (cancer diagnosis). Though the Dr explained a lot about the procedure, I was making life and death decisions in less time than I would have bought a new car. Dr needs to slow down! Much important info - e.g., about how many chemo/radiation treatments - was delivered way too fast ... and I'm a great note-taker. Doctors go thru this delivery of info as if it's a routine; and for them, it is. But it is anything BUT routine for the patient. My provider's discussion convinced me she would be an excellent surgeon. But I am an inquisitive patient so I need more details than others. I have way too much up-close experience with cancer: parents, husband, dear friends, etc., so I may dive deeper than most. But I have only 1 chance to get this decision right - and I would have valued a slower explanation and somewhat longer meeting. That notwithstanding, I was very impressed by Dr King. I chose, however, a facility closer to home. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.
