About Me

We look at the whole patient, and at the different aspects of their breast cancer treatment -- between the medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, and psychosocial oncologists in the cancer integrative medicine network. That’s one of the more unique and exciting things about how we do breast cancer care here at RUSH.
