Lynette Bisconti – Breast Cancer Survivor
In early 1998, just three weeks after learning she was pregnant, Lynette Bisconti was diagnosed with breast cancer. In this video, Lynette explains how, after her local surgeon told her she must terminate the pregnancy, she decided to go to one more hospital because she wasn’t willing to give up:
“[At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA)], I met with all of these people who formed this wonderful support team around me. And all of these people said to me: “We’re going to be on your team, but you’re going to be at the center calling the shots.”
At CTCA, I was treated with respect. I was treated as a human being. I tell people when I talk about this place that this is a place of healing…And that’s what it feels like every single time you walk into the hospital.”
On August 31, 1998, Lynette gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Frankie.
