Larisa, diagnosed at age 59, is a mother and a scientific researcher
“In October 199, my neighbor told me how pleased she was of this new women’s health care center in Yerevan. When I went, I did not expect what I saw. The waiting room was packed, but very orderly. It was very different from all other “polyclinics” that I had gone to before. It was clean, modern, and everyone was polite and kind.
I was given the utmost attention by the Radiologist, who did my first mammography screening. They waiting area was also very pleasant. It was decorated with children’s art, fresh flowers, and health information brochures. I felt like I was in a different country. At the Radiologist’s office, she explained that what she found was not good news and recommended that the oncologist should see me the next day.
Within two weeks, I had a total mastectomy of my left breast and a lumpectomy on my right breast. I also received chemotherapy and radiation for many months. After 12 years, I am still alive. I owe my Life to the Center and to the founders. The Wellness Center is a salvation for the women of Armenia. Thank You to All those who support this Center.”
