  5. Patricia Parkins' story or survival

    While living in Jamaica in February 2009, I felt pain in both breasts. My primary doctor ordered a mammogram and ultrasound. The results indicated Mammary Duct Ectasia and antibiotics were prescribed. I sought a second opinion, and that doctor confirmed the initial diagnosis. I kept checking with both doctors over the next couple of months and was told if the pain persisted that I would need a biopsy.

  6. Belarmina Bardi's story of survival

After the diagnosis was positive, I went to Holy Cross Hospital because of my younger sister&rsquo;s positive experience there.
