You are stronger than you know!

Breast Cancer survivors

Being brave in the face of a cancer diagnosis is no easy feat. But when you combine bravery with inner strength, hope, courage, determination and the support of family, friends and coworkers, you somehow find your way through the darkness and into the light. And that is exactly what survivors Leslie, Marie and Elena did. These are their stories.

Learning you have breast cancer brings with it stress and uncertainty. But the personalized support of Breast Health Nurse Navigator Carolyn Cook, RN, at the Cancer Care Institute of Carolina, can help you through the process. Cook is with the patient from the beginning of their journey, acting as an advocate and tracking results and treatment. “I love offering hope and encouragement to my patients, whether they are just starting their treatment, having surgery, or ringing the bell at the conclusion of their treatment. I am with them through it all,” she says.
