Discovering and Delivering Compassionate,
Coordinated Care
It started as a routine mammogram.Within days I was told I had breast cancer.
I was reassured immediately that an army would be taking care of me. When you
come in contact with any of the staff members, they are friendly, welcoming,
concerned and compassionate. Who wouldn’t be delighted or want that for their
care? The staff and I share the same goal – my wellness. I wouldn’t go anywhere
else.

“When I first
found out I was Breast Cancer (BRCA) positive, I was told that I had an 87
percent lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. As you can imagine, I had
many questions that needed to be answered. I chose the Comprehensive Breast
Center at UMass Memorial because it offered everything from high-risk screening
to preventative treatment options. Staff members discussed my options, answered
my questions and made me feel at ease. I am very pleased with my decision and am
secure in knowing that I have significantly reduced my risk of developing breast
cancer. I would highly recommend the UMass Memorial Comprehensive Breast Center
to anyone needing expert guidance in high-risk breast care.”
