MEMORABLE MOMENT

DR. KELLY LAFAVE Medical Director Florida Radiation Oncology
It has been my greatest privilege to care for cancer patients. While a cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment is challenging in itself, adding in a global pandemic can make it even more so. One thing is certain—we must continue to be as diligent as possible in seeking and obtaining proper medical screening and care. Recently, a patient I saw in clinic had concerns about going for her mammogram due to COVID-19. Ultimately, she decided to proceed and her cancer was caught early due to her screening mammogram. I was inspired that she faced those concerns about the virus with as much bravery and determination as she faced in fighting her cancer. I am pleased to report that she had a positive outcome due to her actions in obtaining an early diagnosis and completing treatment. Her story is a reminder to us all of the importance to stay on top of our health and seek treatment when necessary.
