“I was twenty-seven years old and I was diagnosed with breast cancer… I was clean for 27 years and then, in 2015, I went for my yearly mammogram, and was blindsided by the fact that they said, ‘We think you have cancer again in the other breast.’”
- Michelle M., QualityCare Connect Member
Michelle needed expert clinical navigation to help her find a network of qualified doctors.
Michelle’s diagnosis:
When Michelle was 27 years old, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was then in remission for 27 more years until an annual mammogram in 2015, when she is shocked to hear that the cancer had returned. This time, the cancer is in the other breast and has spread into her lymph nodes.
Throughout her journey, Michelle requires specialists and a primary care provider, QualityCare Connect starts the search:
