We speak to people affected by breast cancer every day, so we are uniquely placed to source compelling case study stories; here is a snapshot of some of the experiences of our patients.
Hripsime, diagnosed at age 53, is a mother and a high school teacher
“In May 2006, I saw a TV interview about the early detection of breast cancer, especially for women after the age of 40. The next day I visited the Wellness Center and I never expected that cancer was already in my breast. Thank God that it was in its initial stage. I had only partial removal of my breast followed by radiation therapy. Since then, the Center has scheduled my visits for every six months and has followed my general health.
In April 2008, during one of my regular visits, the Center found post-operative changes in my breast and structural changes in my thyroid nodules. The physician at the Center recommended additional testing of my thyroid glands and they detected structural changes of the nodules, I was recommended to have surgery to remove them to prevent malignancy. My surgery was successful and I am fine now. I am ready for any advice the Center’s doctors give me. They are caring and know what they are talking about.
Every day I pray for the blessings of God on the founders, donors and the medical staff of the Center. Because of their efforts, I am Alive today! I continue to enjoy teaching and spending time with my children.
You have given my life back to me. Thank You!”
