Suzanne Stevenson is a young woman who has a passion for cars and racing. She works at an auto parts store and knows the specs and performance of all things cars, from catalytic converters to windshield wipers.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also fervent about another topic: the need for women to get a yearly mammogram.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d shout it from the rooftops if I could, that\u2019s how important it is to me,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Family history<\/h3>\n

The reason she\u2019s such a spark plug about it all? Stevenson, 42, comes from a family with a long history of cancer. Her grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2012. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer six months later. And on Aug. 1, Stevenson got a breast cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Stevenson recalls driving home from her job at Napa Auto Parts and asking the nurse practitioner from her doctor\u2019s office: \u201cShould I pull over?\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Yes, he said, and advised her to go to UCHealth Memorial Hospital, home of the Mary Lou Beshears Breast Care Clinic \u2013 Printers Park<\/a>. That meant she would be seen by the same doctors – Dr. Ingrid Sharon<\/a>, a breast surgeon; and Dr. Jane Ridings<\/a>, a radiation oncologist \u2013 who treated her mother and grandmother. Dr. Sharon and Dr. Ridings have worked together for nearly 23 years.<\/p>\n

After getting her diagnosis, Stevenson called both of her brothers and told them the news. Telling her 16-year-old niece, though, was one of the hardest things she had done. The two are \u201cpeas and carrots,\u2019\u2019 Stevenson said. With such a lineage of cancer in the family, the conversation was immensely personal and advisory.<\/p>\n

Less than a month after she received the official diagnosis of breast cancer, Dr. Sharon performed a lumpectomy, removing the known cancer.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Sharon is wonderful. She\u2019s so soft-spoken and she has terrific fashion sense! She is very comforting. She\u2019s got the mom touch, and you know that she really cares about you,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

In the waiting room outside the outpatient surgery center at Printers Park Medical Plaza, Stevenson\u2019s boyfriend and her mother met for the first time and both waited anxiously for news.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had other relationships, and I always introduced them right away. I decided to do this one differently, and I had not introduced them yet,\u2019\u2019 she said. \u201cThey liked each other.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

When the two learned that the lumpectomy surgery to remove her tumor went very well, the two reveled in the good news.<\/p>\n

Radiation therapy<\/h3>\n

Next, Stevenson was on to radiation therapy and in the hands of Dr. Jane Ridings, a radiation oncologist. Every day for four weeks, Stevenson had radiation therapy at UCHealth Cancer Center \u2013 Memorial Hospital Central.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recommended that Suzie receive radiation therapy to her breast after Dr. Sharon performed a lumpectomy to remove the known cancer,\u2019\u2019 Dr. Ridings said. \u201cRadiation kills cancer cells that might remain in the breast after surgery, markedly reducing the chance of the cancer returning while allowing Suzie, and others like her, to save her breast. Survival rates for breast conservation treatment (with lumpectomy and radiation) are exactly as high as those with mastectomy.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Stevenson said radiation is difficult to go through. \u201c\u201cThat\u2019s pretty gnarly. But everyone makes you feel better. My radiology techs, we talked about cars and racing.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Stevenson described Dr. Ridings as overwhelmingly capable. \u201cShe\u2019s matter-of-fact but comforting. She\u2019s a very nice lady.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Dr. Ridings said she has treated parents and children, husbands and wives, though she doesn\u2019t recall treating three generations of the same family.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a huge honor when I\u2019m asked to see the family members of a patient I\u2019ve treated, as this is almost never a coincidence,\u2019\u2019 Dr. Ridings said. \u201cKnowing a patient was happy enough with my care to then recommend me to their loved one is extremely validating.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Stevenson said one of the things that she liked about Dr. Sharon and Dr. Ridings is they spent time talking to her about her condition \u2013 and listening.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never had any questions when I left, they were so thorough. The whole staff was wonderful,\u2019\u2019 Stevenson said.<\/p>\n

Patients first<\/h3>\n

Dr. Sharon said the entire team devotes itself to trying to always do what matters for patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think patients pick up on the fact that my colleagues and I hope with them, anguish with them, and process through results and options with them,\u2019\u2019 Dr. Sharon said. She said physicians are thrilled when they see patients thrive again.<\/p>\n

She said the patients that she sees are \u201camazing women,\u2019\u2019 who often have overcome other adversities in their lives with grace and strength.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are models for how to live life well, independent of circumstances. It is they who are to be applauded,\u2019\u2019 Dr. Sharon said.<\/p>\n

Sadly, Stevenson\u2019s grandmother passed away earlier in 2018 of causes unrelated to breast cancer. Her mom is doing well. The mother and daughter, however, have two different types of breast cancer. Stevenson has Her 2 Negative cancer and her mother had Her 2 Positive cancer.<\/p>\n

Doctors have prescribed Tamoxifen and asked Stevenson to take it for five years. The drug is intended to reduce the risk of cancer coming back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t had any problems,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Singing from the rooftops<\/h3>\n

Meanwhile, she\u2019s talking to everyone about getting a mammogram. According to the American College of Radiology website: Mammography plays a central part in early detection of breast cancers because it can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or physician can feel them. Current guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) recommend screening mammography every year for women, beginning at age 40. Research has shown that annual mammograms lead to early detection of breast cancers, when they are most curable and breast-conservation therapies are available.<\/p>\n

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) adds that women who have had breast cancer, and those who are at increased risk due to a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, should seek expert medical advice about whether they should begin screening before age 40 and the need for other types of screening.<\/p>\n

For Stevenson, the mammogram and her treatment at Memorial brought her peace of mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like it was a six-month blip and I\u2019m moving forward with my life. I I\u2019m doing fine,\u2019\u2019 Stevenson said. \u201cThe staff that treated me, they addressed my concerns and made me feel confident. I don\u2019t want to go through it again, but I\u2019d ask for the same people if I had to.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
