With support from a
Community Healthcare team
of experts, a Munster resident
finds the good in her breast
cancer journey BY ELISE SIMS
Munster resident Leslie Darrow had a lot to celebrate in 2018. She was married in September, her
daughter graduated from high school and she was
diagnosed with cancer. Yes, she celebrated her diagnosis of
invasive HER2 stage 2 breast cancer with a pink party held for
her Hartsfield Village work family.
"When it comes to a breast cancer diagnosis, the power of
positivity is huge," says Darrow, who serves as vice president
of Post-Acute Services for Community Healthcare System.
"There is a lot to celebrate because we caught this early and I
have a lot of support."

At the hospitals of Community Healthcare System, diagnosing and treating cancer involves an entire team of health
professionals working together with patients and their
families to plan the best course of therapy. This multidisciplinary approach to cancer care at Community Hospital
in Munster, St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago and
St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart is the driving force behind
successful outcomes and advances in the detection, treatment
and prevention of cancer.
"The level of care from Community Healthcare System has
been exceptional. From my radiologist, Mary Nicholson, MD,
my oncologist, Mohamad Kassar, MD, general surgeon Nabil
Shabeeb, MD, and plastic surgeon David Robinson, MD, to the
nurse practitioners, nurses, clinicians and radiology technologists, they've been at my side every step of the way," she says.
