PROFILE
Tech-Etch & the Cancer Center
December 2018 was an especially difficult time for Tech-Etch employee Laura Monteiro and her family. Laura’s mother, Diane, hadn’t been feeling well and the pancreatic cancer diagnosis she received was frightening. With a tumor on her pancreas that had spread to her liver, it seemed
the odds were stacked against Diane. Patients battling the same diagnosis usually only live three to six months.
Diane has been undergoing treatment at the Southcoast Health Cancer Center in Fall River for well over a year now and continues to enjoy precious time with her family and friends.
“We are so lucky to have her here with us,” said Laura, noting the amazing care her mother has received from her oncologist, Sophia Rizk, MD, and the entire Cancer Center team.
“We’re fortunate that she can receive this care locally, right at Charlton, close to home. The Cancer Center staff are amazing. They encourage her to keep living her life and making plans for the future.”
