This is me
Dear friend, My name is Teresa. I am 53 years old. I am a mother to four children and a grandmother to six boys – yes, all boys! You don’t know me, but I know something we probably have in common. I am a cancer patient and a survivor to triple positive breast cancer.
You likely have a special person in your life who has experienced a cancer diagnosis like me. A Grandma. Uncle. Mom. Dad. Husband. Sister. Neighbor. Maybe even yourself. On June 4, you are invited to join John Stoddard Cancer Center and communities around the world to celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day®. A day dedicated to those who have survived, inspiring those recently diagnosed and a day to acknowledge family members, friends and oncology health care providers who have walked alongside patients in their journeys.

This Cancer Survivors Day®, I will not only celebrate the amazing support I received from my family, friends and coworkers throughout my journey but also recognize the care and dedication my doctors and nurse navigator, Jen, provided at Stoddard Cancer Center.
My care team took the time to answer every question my sister and I had and helped us better understand my cancer diagnosis – I will always be thankful for their guidance. Your support is needed. You can celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day® by making a gift in honor of a cancer survivor, their loved one or a care provider at Stoddard Cancer Center who is special to you.
