Joyce Sipes and Mary Ellen Dodge

When Joyce Sipes was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999,she shared the news
immediately with her sister Mary Ellen Dodge.Mary Ellen was there for her-helDina her
through the terror,and the fear,and the thousand questions that are inevitably a Dart of hearing the word"cancer".
Fortunately,a friend at work who had had a similar diagnosis highly recommended
Alonzo Walker,MD,Medical College of Wisconsin suraical oncoloaist(外科肿瘤学家)
and director of the Froedtert&Medical College of Wisconsin Breast Cancer Proaram.Joyce
maae an appointment.At an initial consultation,Dr. Walker spent two hours with Joyce and
her husDana.Joyce was so reassured;she cancelled her appointment to get a second
opinion elsewhere.
Ultimately, Joyce"s cancer required a mastectomy(乳房切除术).Reconstructive
surgery took place right away.She came to think of Dr. Walker as her partner."not just
my doctor."And the Froedtert nurses,she says,were"very unusual and impressive".
As it turned out,Joyce would soon have the chance to do something important for her
sister Mary Ellen.During her own cancer treatment,Joyce suqqested that Mary Ellen
should get herself checked through the Froedtert&Medical College of Wisconsin Breast
Cancer Program.In addition to its opportunities for examination and screenina.the hospital
had established a program especially for women in families at high risk for cancer. Sure
enough , it turned out that Mary Ellen had some cysts(囊肿),one of which was
dangerous enough that it needed to be surgically removed.She"s fine now一thanks to
Joyce"s suggestion.
Both sisters experienced firsthand how Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin offers
more than leading-edge technology and the unmatched experience of physicians in an
academic medical center. It offers a comprehensive team approach一of consultation,
collaboration,and care一all focused on the individual patient.That"s why Joyce came to
think of Froedtert,throughout the orocess of her treatment,as being her "security
blanket".
Joyce Sipes has been cancer-free five years now一an important milestone(里程碑)
tor breast cancer survivors.Joyce and Mary Ellen are together once aciain in their workshop

baskets,and Nantucket baskets that they and their customers love. What did Mary Ellen do for her cancer-stricken sister?
