I am writing to wish you well on your retirement, and to say how truly grateful I am to have had you as my doctor. When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998, you made me feel as if I could survive this diagnosis. And I have…but only with your help and care. When I was undecided whether or not to have chemo, you kept pursuing me and encouraged me to have it. I believe having chemo is the reason I am alive today. So, for that, and for so much kindnesses you have shown me, I want to say “Thank You”! You have been a blessing in my life. Good luck in your future endeavors!
