Breast cancer is one of the most frightening and life changing things that can happen to any woman, trust me I know. The team that supports you and guides through your journey, is crucial. If you have been currently diagnosed with cancer, know that you could not make a better choice than Dr. Chu, her team of caregivers and staff. In detail she will help guide you through all the decisions you will have to make (In my case, more than I expected.), answer your questions/concerns explain what to expect during and after surgery. It’s a lot to wrap your head around so bring someone who will help listen to what you might miss during this emotional consult. Dr Chu is considering one of the best surgeons in the area. “Oh, she’s the best!”, is a comment I have often heard from other doctors, nurses and friends. I 100% agree plus it doesn’t hurt that she is genuinely a “good hearted“ person, as well. Thank you Dr Chu and your team!
