Laura's Story: My Breast Cancer Care Team at UCSF

For patients battling breast cancer, feeling simply like a medical record number can be devastating. UCSF’s breast cancer care team, made up of doctors, techs, and nurses, understands the importance of developing a deep and supportive connection with patients during such a trying and emotional time.

“When you’re sick and don’t recognize yourself, hearing a total stranger say something so touching and so genuine is such a special moment,” explains breast cancer survivor Laura Holmes Haddad, author of This Is Cancer: Everything You Need to Know, From the Waiting Room to the Bedroom. Watch this short video in which Laura discusses the significance of the touching moments she had with her breast cancer care team throughout her journey at UCSF.
