Alaine Stevens - Breast Cancer Survivor
Alaine knew about her family's history with breast cancer, but she never believed it would happen to her. After receiving her diagnosis, Alaine's doctor did not give her the opportunity to participate in her cancer treatment decisions so she began to look for a place that would. She then saw a commercial for Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA). Soon after, Elaine and her husband made the car trip to CTCA where she found a style of cancer care suited to her needs.
Alaine's husband describes their experience, "We had all of these appointments not only with an oncologist, but also with a pain management doctor, a naturopathic clinician, a nutritionist, a psychologist. We saw all of these different people because that's how CTCA treats the whole person."
Alaine says, "There's an atmosphere of hope and of tomorow - of what tomorrow is going to bring for you. There is life after cancer and it's a full life...it's a great life."
