I am a breast cancer survivor thanks to Bronson!
"As odd as it sounds, it’s been an enjoyable experience going into the cancer center because all of the staff members are great – the front desk gals, check-in staff and my nurses. They are really good at keeping your spirits up! Every time I go in, my doctors make me feel like I’m the only person that matters. They sit with me as long as I need, and they go over all the details about what we’re doing. I always leave feeling very reassured that we are on the right track to kick this cancer’s butt!"

I felt at total peace and I knew I was in good hands.
"During a consultation with Dr. Reschke, she shared with me her unique and awesome bedside manner. She asked me to think of, and share with her, a song or music that makes me happy. She told me that before my lumpectomy surgery, and while I was being put to sleep, she would softly play my choice of music to help me relax."

Bronson saved my life. I am still here today, and I hope to be here for many more years.
"Bronson has been amazing along this journey. They have constantly expedited services because of my diagnosis. Dr. Reschke, Dr. Nagpal, and Dr. Fakheddine (West Michigan Cancer Center) meet on a regular basis to discuss my case and make sure I am getting the care I need. I have been given so much hope from the care team. There are so many people I could thank here at Bronson – but really, Bronson saved my life. I am still here today, and I hope to be here for many more years."
