Christine Ortega
Breast Cancer Patient
“It never crossed my mind that I could have cancer. I thought I had a bruise that just wouldn’t go away. I went to see Dr. Choong Baick at UC Irvine Medical Center. After a mammogram showed nothing, a needle biopsy revealed I had inflammatory breast cancer.”
“The Breast Health Center at UC Irvine Medical Center is an amazing place. Their multidisciplinary team fought my disease from every angle—drug therapy, surgery and radiation. But what touched me most was the care, concern and love from the physicians and staff. I consider them my ‘angels.’”
