There are as many reactions to a breast cancer diagnosis as there are women who receive one. But the prospect of death almost always looms.

But the instant response of many to the diagnosis mirrors that of long-time state employee Vanda Ragans last summer.

The article quotes both Dr. Nancy Van Vessem and Dr. Lea Kristin Parsley who are faculty members of the College of Medicine.

PRESS RELEASE

Though Florida Supreme Court Justice Barbara Pariente was fit, healthy and happy and had no family history of breast cancer, her routine mammogram revealed she had an early stage of the disease that later would spread, ultimately resulting in two surgeries, a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction, followed by months of chemotherapy. She lost her hair, and one day boldly ditched the wig she hated and took to the bench bald.

Two College of Medicine faculty members, Nancy Van Vessem and Lea Parsley are quoted in the article.
