Norris Cotton Cancer Center

After meeting with cancer experts and counselors at Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Norris Cotton Cancer Center, good friends Amy and Cathy were able to slow down, learn about their options, and make the best decision for them.

For Cameron, "B-positive" is more than just his blood type. He made it his motto, starting the "Be Positive for CHaD Kids" fund and raising $3,500 over the holidays for his fellow patients at CHaD.

"Exhausted and out of breath while visiting my daughter in New Jersey, I barely made it home to New Hampshire to see my doctor in Keene. After a blood test showed that I was dangerously anemic, I was sent to the emergency room for a blood transfusion. There I learned the culprit: leukemia. I was referred to Norris Cotton Cancer Center in Lebanon for bone marrow biopsies and chemotherapy. It was there that I met Dr. Mary Chamberlin.

"If what I do in this clinical trial can help one woman in the future, then I've done a wonderful thing."

"One thing I have found at Norris Cotton Cancer Center is that no matter how much time I need to talk or ask questions, the doctors give it to me. I never feel rushed, or that I am inconveniencing them."

The last thing you'd expect as a 35-year-old personal trainer and fitness instructor, who doesn't drink or smoke, is to be diagnosed with cancer. Yet, that's exactly what happened to Jennifer in 2008.

"I don't think she could have received any better care than here at Norris Cotton Cancer Center in St. Johnsbury"

"Just when I thought life had handed me too much, I found myself surrounded by people there to support me."

"Would I do this procedure again if someone was a positive match? In a heartbeat"

Now that I've gotten fairly good at doing this, doing the infusions...I have sort of taken to challenging myself to finding interesting places to do them in.
