She scheduled appointments at two different clinics in Seattle and decided the best place for her was the Breast Cancer Specialty Center at University of Washington Medical Center. At my initial visit I met with a whole team of doctors at the same time. Everyone is straightforward. At UWMC, there is no single textbook approach for treating breast cancer. Every cancer is different.
Every patient is different.
