Care Philosophy: Receiving a cancer diagnosis is an emotionally traumatic experience. One of my first steps with a woman is to provide support and education in order to help her understand her diagnosis rather than fear it. My goal is to guide her in making decisions that are uniquely her own. Just as each woman is unique, so too is her cancer. This first step helps develop a plan that is right for her – both in the throes of the initial diagnosis and in years to come. The next step is to encourage a woman to make herself the most important person in her life. This may sound simple, but a woman will almost always name many others (children, spouses, partners) before ever considering herself. In order to survive treatments and thrive as a healthy woman afterwards, she has to make herself her first priority. This helps her gain control of therapy and provides the motivation needed to get through it all.
