“When I called to schedule an appointment, I was told it would be ten days before I could be seen. But the very next day, I got a call back from someone who said Dr. Henderson wanted to see me right away. She’d reviewed my case and knew what I was facing and decided I couldn’t wait – that, obviously, meant the world to me. I was diagnosed with very aggressive triple-negative breast cancer with an 80% growth rate. At my appointment, Dr. Henderson explained everything that was going to happen, very thoroughly, knowing that my treatment was going to move quickly. But she didn’t rush. She and her assistant took their time and treated me – not like just another patient – but like a human being. I knew she had lots of people to see, but she really made me feel special. Less than a month after my double mastectomy and reconstruction, my house burned down. Not very long afterward, I got a call from Dr. Henderson personally, who wanted to know how I was doing and asked to meet with me. I happened to be visiting the hospital for another reason, so I stopped by her office. When I got there, she and her team presented me with a wonderful gift, along with a bunch of gift cards, to help us get back on our feet. It was a beautiful gesture.”
