Please contact our office for a list of our patients, so that you might select a "friend" whose circumstances are similar to your own. "I have learned so much since being diagnosed with breast cancer. It seems I spent four months crying and frantically researching the Internet looking for answers since the information I was given seemed so inadequate. I know God led me to your website and ultimately to The Center. A place where I could find something that was right for me." "Due to circumstances I traveled from Montana to New Orleans alone for the procedure. I never felt alone. Everyone made me feel at home. I never felt scared. This was my 4th surgery and you would think by far the most traumatic. Instead it was the most peaceful. I felt safe and knew what would take place. I trusted that everyone understood my needs and would do what was best for me. I had not felt that way ever since my diagnosis." "Surgery was on March 4th. On the 5th I was walking the hall in the ICU. There was very little discomfort. On March 6th I went back to McFarland, walked a mile and rode the trolley. On the 9th I had oysters and a Mango Daiquiri for breakfast. From the 6th on, I never missed a day riding the trolley to the French Quarter. On April 24th I'll be running a 10k race." "I have shown my new breast to more people than I can count and they're all amazed at the wonderful new beginning. Many of them have seen the results of breast cancer before. My husband says the same thing, "You can't tell." I know he would have said that no matter what, but the difference is I know it's true." To read more patient testimonials click here.
