The numbers are staggering.  This year, 252,710 women will hear the words "you have breast cancer" and 40,500 will die of the disease. This week, we continue our focus on the fight against breast cancer by shining a light on Dr. Susan Pories, chief of Breast Surgery and the Medical Director of the Hoffman Breast Center at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, MA. An Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School and co-author of the books The Soul of a Doctor and The Soul of a Patient, Dr. Pories believes in compassionate care and the power of creating bonds that last with her patients. Humble and soft-spoken, Dr. Pories is a role model and a trailblazer for women in her field. #storybehindhersuccess #16LifeLessons   #mydoveproductions   candyoterry.com   @HoffmanBreastCenter
