My Story

Karen Nugent / Breast cancer - Stage III
My journey with breast cancer started in November 2004. I was devastated, scared and numb when I found out I had cancer. At the time, I was 48 and thought that I was healthy.

I immediately started researching doctors and treatments. I found a surgeon near my home outside of Savannah, Georgia to remove the tumor. After the surgery, I consulted with a local oncologist and radiologist. The doctors were so impersonal. They didn't want to listen to a word I was saying.

I went to a well-respected medical center near my home in Phoenix, Arizona. I’d had cardiac care there previously, and was happy with my treatment at that time. My doctor said the lump was a swollen lymph node that would likely be gone in 30 days. This was in the summer of 2009.
