May name is Patricia Hallop. I have been married to my husband, Rob, for 19 years. We have two beautiful children, Luke 15 and Taylor 13. I have worked for Dr. David Susko at his dental office for 27 years.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer this past February. I discovered the tumor myself and was very lucky it was only one centimeter in size. I chose to have a bilateral mastectomy (surgery that removes all of both breasts), with immediate implants. I have undergone four months of chemotherapy and do not need radiation.

I have received so much love and support from my family and friends. They have made something so difficult much easier. It has been four weeks since my last chemotherapy treatment and I feel so good!

Thank you for this honor!
