My
Incredible Doctors
Dr David
Fichman
Sebastopol,
CA
(707) 829-1811
My
general physician at the time, whose staff and bed-side manner were wonderful,
honest and supportive - He told me to "run - don't walk"...and
he was right.
Dr John
McAvoy

(707) 526-2276
Saved my Life. He did what others couldn't or wouldn't. Performed bi-lateral
mastectomies and several other surgeries to include reconstruction when
it looked like reconstruction wasnÕt possible. He is awesome. His staff
terrific.

Stepped in to complete the reconstruction when I moved out of state did
an unbelievable job with what he had to work with! oooo La La, he is good!
His staff is exceptional, they made the painful visits less scary and
the waiting room warm and fun.

feel pretty.

Let me cry and laugh and curl up in a fetal position until it was time
to stand back up and dust myself off and get on with it.
Special
Thanks to my nurses and care takers:
Demie
Williams, my Mom, who gave me her arms, her home and heart - quite
literally, my Mom's love heals
Kelli
Simmons, my Sister, who sat at my bedside and held my hand all the
way and made it possible to laugh in what seemed like impossible circumstances
Donna
Dozier, New West Hair,
S Main St Sebastopol, CA
(707) 823-5481
Friend,
who changed dressings, drains, and bedding; rushed me to emergency; stuffed
my chest with Kotex's in Target when I sprang a leak; whose giggles will
never be forgotten
Brian
McFarland, Friend and Nurse, who loaned me his hands when mine weren't
strong enough
Karen
Westlund, my Friend and then Boss, who shared my discovery and decision
and never stopped supporting or caring for me
Shawna,
Cal and Paul Simmons, who shared their wife and mom with me on more
than a few occasions
Terry
Eldridge, Friend who was there for me then and will walk with me now
- who has been at my side regardless of if I was capable of being at
hers
David
Wilson, who touched and looked at me like nothing was wrong –who
nourished my fragile femininity at a time I needed it most.
