Rebecca’s Story: A Journey of Strength and Healing

When Rebecca Perando rang the bell at Sacred Heart Bay Hospital, it marked the end of her breast cancer treatment and the beginning of a new chapter in her life. The bell symbolizes hope, courage, and survival, and for Rebecca, it was a moment she will never forget.

Her journey began with a diagnosis that turned her world upside down. After her first chemotherapy treatment, she experienced the difficult loss of her hair, but she never lost her determination. Guided by the encouragement of her physicians, Dr. Tom Johnson and Dr. Ali Moody, she held tightly to their best advice: “Stay positive.”

That mindset carried Rebecca through every appointment, every challenge, and every milestone on her path to healing. She describes her experience at Sacred Heart Bay Hospital as “a highly positive journey for a life-changing disease,” a reflection of the compassionate care she received throughout treatment.

Today, Rebecca is cancer free and continues to live a happy, healthy life, returning for regular follow-ups with gratitude in her heart. Her story is a testament to the power of faith, positivity, and exceptional care.
