From a stage 4 cancer diagnosis to saying ‘I Do’ 🩷
Jami spends her days encouraging others as a physical therapist to put their health first. But when her own annual mammogram came around, she almost put it off. Thankfully, she didn’t.
A callback led to more tests and a diagnosis she never saw coming: stage 4 breast cancer. The cancer had spread to her lymph node, liver and spine. Jami said it felt like the floor fell out from under her.
At the Marjorie E. Radin Breast Care Center, she met medical oncologist Dr. Lisa Ge, who had a clear plan and a promising new FDA-approved treatment. Dr. Ge and her team worked with Stanford experts and insurance to make it happen because she truly believed it was the best option for Jami, with a better quality of life than traditional chemotherapy.
Early on, Jami found herself wondering what kind of funeral she would have, but her care team was hopeful. Thanks to the expert care she has been receiving here at Community Cancer Institute and at the Marjorie E. Radin Breast Care Center, treatment is working.
Now, Jami is looking ahead instead of looking back. Recently, she and her fiancé celebrated their love with a wedding on the beach, a day she once feared she might miss.
“I would like to thank the team at Community Cancer Institute and the Marjorie E. Radin Breast Care Center. They saved my life and I’m forever grateful. Dr. Ge, you are a super hero”, Jami said. 🫶💕
