Aurora Sinai patient discovers passionate care

Finding a lump in your breast can be the most devastating day of a woman's life. No one knows that better than Kathleen VanWagenen of West Bend.

“I immediately went to my doctor, Rene Jahnke, and she called surgeon Dr. Judy Tjoe at Aurora Sinai Medical Center. I was terrified, but the staff at the breast center was unbelievable. They told me to call day or night with questions. I was surrounded in love. If you have to experience something bad, it's nice to have so many good people around you.”

The speed with which Kathleen was treated helped ease her anxiety.

“I was diagnosed quickly by radiologist Sarha Lee, I was in surgery July 3 and home the next day. Dr. Tjoe came to the hospital on her holiday so I was able to spend the 4th of July watching the fireworks with my family.

“The staff and the range of services have been fabulous. I know ‘my girls' will be there for me as I get ready for chemo,” Kathleen said. “What was most comforting to me is knowing that the staff at Aurora focused on me as an individual and made sure I had the help and resources for my physical, emotional and spiritual needs during and after my care.”
