Testimonials from actual Huntsman Cancer Information Service callers*:
Suspicious mammogram:
A fifty-two year-old woman called to discuss her routine mammogram,
which came back as "suspicious":
I was really frightened
because my sister died of breast cancer, and I was
convinced that I now had it. When I called the Huntsman
Cancer Information Service, a cancer information specialist
explained the different diagnostic procedures, my risk
factors, and the questions I should ask my doctor. I was so
thankful to Huntsman Cancer Information Service for
relieving my fears and for helping me become better
prepared to talk with my physician."
Lung cancer diagnosis:
A sixty-four year-old man had
just been diagnosed with lung cancer and felt his life was
over:
I was really upset about my diagnosis when I called
Huntsman Cancer Information Service. The cancer information
specialist helped me realize that with treatment I could
still expect to have a good quality of life. They even sent
me information that helped me ask questions of my
oncologist. Their service helped me so much that I called
again to thank them for taking the time to help me, and to
let them know that I'm now in chemotherapy and doing
well."
Endometrial cancer treatment decision:
A young woman
called who was having a hard time deciding which treatment
to undergo for endometrial cancer:
I am just calling to say thank you for the advice
Huntsman Cancer Information Service gave me and to let you
know that the Huntsman Cancer Institute physician you
referred me to is wonderful. When I called your service, I
was trying to decide between two different treatments and
the information packet you sent to me, along with talking
to my physician, made my decision much easier. I'm going to
tell everyone about Huntsman Cancer Information
Service." |
