"The diagnosis of cancer brings much fear and many questions to most people. Joyce Howard encouraged calm in my life at the time I was diagnosed with her expertise in oncology and her kind demeanor and understanding ways.”
“What a gift to have Joyce, an experienced oncology nurse, to help me through my cancer journey. A cancer diagnosis is overwhelming. Joyce clarified the information I received and helped guide me in making informed and wise decisions!”
Joyce was extremely helpful when my mom was dealing with Colon cancer, and 10+ years later when I also had a diagnosis of Colon cancer. She helped us understand the range of possibilities of the disease and the treatment options. Her calm and confident manner was reassuring.”
“When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, Joyce was extremely helpful explaining all the medical terminology and what medical choices were available to me. She suggested questions to ask my doctor. Those questions enabled me to participate effectively in my own treatment decisions.”
Joyce has been with me from the beginning of my Lymphoma diagnosis, in 1995. Having multiple cancer diagnoses over the years, she has walked me through some very difficult times. Always uplifting, informative, and providing guidance through my ‘medical ordeals’. She was an enormous advocate!
