[Guest guest]

Dear BreastCancer2 members,

I am with a private cancer specialty hospital.

We are similar to major hospitals in that we offer conventional

treatments of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation (and sometimes are

able to offer more than major hospitals because our entire budget for

treatment goes toward cancer treatment and no other department).

We are different from conventional hospitals in that we also offer

complementary treatment as well. Complementary therapies include

nutrition (each patient works with a nutritionist immediately, not

once terrible weight loss has set in), naturopathic medicine,

psychoneuroimmunology, and spiritual counseling (if desired).

We also believe in Patient Empowerment Medicine. Patient Empowerment

Medicine (PEM) is a philosophy of care that puts patients first and

in the center of their care. Aside from assembling a team of expert

care providers who work within your schedule (and not the other way

around), CTCA works diligently to uncover the things that patients

need and value-long before they even enter our doors.

If I can be of help to you in determining if Cancer Treatment Centers

of America is an option, you can reach me at ,

extension 7368 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

central time or at lillian.wickram@...

Thank you and I wish you the greatest success on all of your journeys

toward healing.

Truly,

Lilly Wickram , extension 7368
