Breast Cancer the Sisterhood you never wanted to join.

A Breast Cancer diagnosis came at me, out of the blue at the end of November 2022. Dr. Lesley Rechter has been my doctor for many, many years. She is always a guide post in navigating whatever issue comes up. Now we were really at the crux of the matter. How and with whom do we proceed down the Yellow Brick Road. Many people had a multitude of doctors to suggest, where would I should go. As scared as I was, I knew Dr. Rechter would send me to someone who would provide the same care and humanity that she does. And so it came to pass, we went to the Breast Surgeon she recommended. People asked "why did I go there?' My answer was that Dr. Rechter said 'If it were her, that is where she would go". Good enough for her, good enough for me. I cannot even begin to tell the story from Lumpectomy, 12 rounds of Chemo, 20 sessions of radiation and an additional 3 months of Herceptin. All along the journey Dr Rechter sent me words of support and encouragement. She sent me to place where we got wonderful and personal care. She is a one in a million doctor. I have been very lucky to have her.
