"My involvement with breastcancer.org is really motivated by the stories I hear from my patients," she says. "Many feel they don't get to spend enough time with their physicians, don't know what questions to ask, or are afraid of being a nuisance and asking too many 'stupid' questions. I think breastcancer.org is unique in that it gives the patient a chance to interact with physicians in a non-threatening environment."
