Erica P.
I don’t think my story is out of the ordinary. I’m a single mother who was dealt a life-changing diagnosis, but I knew I needed to keep working and living my daily life to keep things ‘normal’ for me and my daughter.
When Erica was diagnosed with breast cancer, she was understandably fearful of what was to come.
“I was so scared, but everyone I came in contact with was so kind and reassuring,” she said. “The nurses and doctors were very thorough to answer any questions my family or I had.”
Erica’s team of clinical experts included Anuj Agarwala, MD, an MD Anderson Cancer Network® certified physician focused on medical oncology; Chandrika Patel, MD, an MD Anderson Cancer Network certified physician specializing in radiation oncology; along with Danielle, her nurse navigator, and Linda, her nurse during chemotherapy.
“The kindness and attention I received was one of a kind,” she said. “I think, overall, that everyone I’ve spoken with or seen has been so kind and sympathetic.”
