\"\"I am writing to thank you and all the dedicated doctors, nurses and technicians at Cooper University Hospital at Camden for the outstanding care I received during my recent stay.<\/p>\n

In late July, I was admitted to Cooper\u2019s ninth floor Oncology unit, room 910. I had breast cancer and required a mastectomy. I also have osteogensis imperfecta (O.I.) type IIII, which, as you well know, has its own problems.<\/p>\n

I had a wonderful surgeon, Dr. Karen Hendershott. She, along with Christina Hunter, RN, Nurse Educator, put together a plan for my care. Nurses and technicians were asked to volunteer to take my case. They all learned the Dos and Don\u2019ts of O.I. patient care, so I didn\u2019t have to worry about someone coming in my room and pulling an arm or leg and maybe causing a fracture.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t say enough about my nurses, Zofia Kapron, Lavi Michael and Tracy Renolds, and the techs, Rosa Lopez, Anna Ivizary, Kim Price, Kelly Walsh and David Thomas. I had the Best of the Best.<\/p>\n

Also, my sister Maureen was always there to be of help and give advice if needed, and they were wonderful to her as well.<\/p>\n

Please let my team know that I do have my life back, just like they said I would. I didn\u2019t need chemo, so my recovery took about three months and I\u2019ll be monitored closely and take a pill for the next five years, but I\u2019m back to my old self and so very grateful to my friends at Cooper University Hospital.<\/p>\n

Very Truly Yours,
\nDianne K<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
