“I have so many friends that I met at Ascension who helped me through my cancer journey." — Lynne, Grateful patient
After receiving her second breast cancer diagnosis in 16 years, Lynne was in disbelief.
With all the unknowns Lynne faced with her new diagnosis, she was certain about one thing — she would receive her care and treatments at Ascension.
“You go in there and you feel like you're the only patient,” Lynne said. “They really cared about everybody that was walking through that door."
From scheduling appointments to connecting her to therapy to receiving a free wig, Lynne is especially grateful for services provided by her nurse navigator, many of which are funded by philanthropy.
Thanks to philanthropy, Lynne’s experience was defined by care, comfort and the reassurance that she was never alone.
