We’re excited to continue sharing stories from our patients in honor of National Cancer Survivors Day (June 2). Read what breast cancer survivor Loretta R. has to say, and join us in thanking her for sharing her story! To see more of her journey and learn about cancer care at MedStar Health, please visit the link in our bio.
“I found a small lump in my breast and called my primary care physician, who arranged for me to have a mammogram. Based on that, I was scheduled for a follow-up biopsy at MedStar Montgomery Medical Center, which revealed I had triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive form of the disease.
“After five months of chemotherapy, a lumpectomy, and six weeks of radiation, I am doing well and rebuilding my strength and stamina. I was very lucky my cancer was caught early. I had healthcare providers who really listened to me, and that made a tremendous difference.”
