“When I came to Dr. Henderson, I was looking for answers. I’d been getting mammograms and ultrasounds every six months for quite some time to watch a concerning spot on my left breast. When I met with Dr. Henderson, she recommended an MRI. When my insurance didn’t want to cover it, she got on the phone personally and convinced them it was necessary. And it’s a good thing she did. While they didn’t find anything in my left breast, they did find something in my right breast. I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ – the earliest form of breast cancer. The type of cancer found was a rare form, so Dr. Henderson immediately brought my case to the Tumor Board for discussion. With their input, Dr. Henderson helped me decide on a mastectomy as opposed to a lumpectomy. That decision gave me peace of mind, and, in making that decision, I was spared radiation treatment. Due to the nature of my cancer, Dr. Henderson also removed my sentinel lymph nodes, using the mastectomy incision, as opposed to making a separate incision. She took a personal interest in my case, and I am thankful for her due diligence. Had she not pushed the insurance company to cover the MRI and not sought the opinions of other experts, my outcome could have been much different. Because we caught it early, I didn’t need radiation or chemo – and I couldn’t be happier about that. Two years later, she performed my gallbladder surgery, which also went very well. I would highly recommend Dr. Henderson to anyone.”
