Michelle's Breast Cancer Story

“You cannot let the cancer define you.”

Michelle was a 34 year old, mother of three when she found a lump on her breast. Scared, she called her doctor, and was scheduled for an ultrasound, and then a mammogram. She was diagnosed with a form of breast cancer called invasive ductal carcinoma. In less than 48 hours Michelle met with her care team at the Saint Vincent Cancer and Wellness Center including a Radiation Oncologist, Medical Oncologist, and Breast Surgeon. “Walking out of there I felt like a weight was taken off, because I knew someone was going to be there for me.” Listen to Michelle’s story here and click here to learn more about all of the cancer services we offer at Saint Vincent Hospital.
