The possibility that I had breast cancer was suggested during a doctor’s exam back in 2016. They thought they suspected something, but they weren’t totally sure. At this point, I went to have a mammogram and found out I had breast cancer. Proton therapy was presented to me by one of my sisters and then I posed questions to the Doctor myself. The Doctor did not recommend anything – he couldn’t. Yet in still he gave me some great information that proved to be very valuable.
My initial visit to the Hampton University Proton Cancer Institute (Hampton Proton) was awesome and very relaxing. They were so friendly and it felt like you were a part of a family. It gave me renewed hope, to be honest. I knew what was going to go on; they were very direct in explaining the process. They made it extremely easy for me to come to my final decision. I was finished within a few weeks of treatment.
I feel great and I’m living a good life after my treatment at Hampton Proton. I’m breast cancer free – I had no side effects during or after. You won’t find a better treatment facility or more personalized care. I will be forever thankful to the staff at Hampton Proton for what they did for me.
