Breast Cancer

Patient Stories

Serious health conditions often make you feel like you're all alone. But you're not. Over the years, many patients from Seattle Cancer Care Alliance have shared their stories with us so that we may share them with you.

Inflammatory Breast Cancer Survivor, Michelle Fusman

After Michelle Fusman learned she had inflammatory breast cancer, she immediately went to the Internet to find out where she could go to get life-saving treatment. “I want to be one of those people that I read about on the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance web site – a survivor.”

Kelly and her mother, Diane, went through breast cancer treatment at the same time. "One thing I'm grateful for, for Kelly and for myself," Diane says, "is that the doctors at SCCA go the extra mile. They go above and beyond what I might receive at other places."
