If a friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, I would tell her not to panic. Breast cancer is very curable these days. The worst thing you can do is ignore the problem. Don’t put off treatment,” said Marzena Gabron, a local radiation therapist.

Gabron chose to become a radiation therapist after working as a social worker in the medical field.

Gabron said, “I worked in a skilled nursing facility and advised many patients with cancer. I wanted to help people with a more hands-on approach, going more deeply into medicine.”
