Debbie Starcher, Radiation Oncology and Breast Cancer Patient

Debbie felt very confident in her care team at Summa through a lumpectomy and radiation therapy after her breast cancer diagnosis.

Transcription

Debbie Starcher: During a routine breast self exam, I found a lump, so I immediately called Summa to make an appointment for a mammogram.

Immediately after the mammogram, Dr. Gulotta ordered a biopsy and that came back with cancer, which is a word that nobody wants to hear. I had a lumpectomy with Dr. Gulotta. She's very reassuring and such a breath of fresh air. I felt very confident.

Then I went through four weeks of radiation therapy with Dr. Streeter. Dr. Streeter's a peach. He's great. I love him to death. He answers every question that you have and then some and he never hesitates to make you feel good.

The entire team at Summa made me feel like I was just wrapped in a blanket of care. My motto is "My cancer, my team, my hospital, my cure." Thank you, Summa.
