I have been a patient here since birth and had surgery for cancer 3 times & have been so fortunate to have it caught early so that I have lived a good life and I am still active. I owe a great debt to the doctors and nurses who took care of me. I only required radiation on my left breast after a lumpectomy surgery. Dr. John K. Lynch who is the director of the Oncology Department of Ben Owens Center is one of the most caring and best doctors anyone could have as his/her specialist.
