Choosing Genesis: A doctor's choice for treatment | Brandice Alexander, D.O.
When prompted by her family physician, Dr. Alexander followed recommended colon cancer screening guidelines. Two days after her colonoscopy, she received a call with the biopsy results that one of the two polyps found was cancerous. Now she uses her experience as a patient to reassure her patients.
“I tell them, ‘I know you’re scared, but you need to know that there are six people in this surgery suite, and you are our only focus.’ I’ve been on the receiving end of that focus. The right people are in those positions.”
It’s Personal: Your Body, Your Cancer Care | Sherry Sims
Sherry’s mammogram revealed a suspicious shadow on her right breast, so she received a biopsy at the Genesis Cancer Care Center. The result was a diagnosis of ER-positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. Sherry said she’ll never forget the people at the Genesis Cancer Care Center.
“These people are like my family now,” Sherry said. “They treated me how I wanted to be treated.”
