“I’m certainly not an oncologist, nor would I ever want to take on that role. I do know what it’s like to go through cancer, to work in the cancer community, and to listen and treat thousands of patients for the side effects of cancer. As Your Cancer Sherpa, I remain within reach as we prepare for your ascent. ”

Stop worrying about other and focus on your healing. You, the patient, need to focus on your treatments without worry about others.

Why should you have to make decisions or explain something that you are unclear about?
“Eileen is a healer. She worked with my sister through treatment for breast cancer, met with my family to help us figure out how to be the best support, and was an amazing friend and source of expertise. I’ve seen her many times and I always feel so refreshed and renewed. My favorite thing about Eileen is that she’s has a brilliant blend of calm, healing energy and hilarious Jewish humor. She’s a mensch and I feel fortunate to have her in my, and my family’s life. ”

“Eileen has been a part of my medical team for four years—beginning with a diagnosis of breast cancer and on through treatment, recovery, surgery, angst, and now wellness. She is a guide, an angel and a thoroughly knowledgeable doctor who, for me personally, has treated everything from rashes to achey shoulders to chemo side effects to colds, headaches and even stiletto stab wounds. Go see her. She can fix you. Go. ”
