Deb has been my angel friend through all of my surgeries , lumpectomy and then mastectomies. She is compasionate and has worn my bra. Johns Hopkins Avon Breast Center is my choice for treatment since Deb is there.
When I was diagnosed Debbie was one of the second person that I spoke with but she really put me at ease, listened to me cry and when my visit was done had put a smile on my face. During the course of my treatment, it was her words of encourgement that I remembered and used to keep a positive attitude. Debbie is truly a blessing to have both as a support to newly diagnosed patients and to those of us who are surviors.
