I didn't want to put my life on hold for breast cancer, and with SAVI, I didn't have to.
In May, 2008, at the age of 66, I became the first woman to undergo Cianna SAVI Breast Cancer treatment at Halifax Health, Daytona Beach, Florida. This revolutionary therapy delivered a targeted, highly effective level of radiation while sparing healthy breast tissue, and it required as little as five days of treatment. So for me, SAVI's short time commitment and high success rate made it the perfect choice. Halifax Health was the only hospital in the area performing SAVI, just one of the many advanced cancer therapies available at Halifax Health - Center for Oncology.
Sadly, four days after my last treatment, my husband passed after a long struggle with lung cancer.
