Dr. Goodman treated my breast cancer with lumpectomy and radiation in 1978 when both my obstetrician and surgeon were advocating radical mastectomy. His thoroughness(scanned 14 lymph nodes and used tattoo markers when other
Drs. were still using magic markers.) and his brilliant approach and dedication to his work were reflected in all the people whom he chose to assist him. But most important was that the sense of humor and hope that he brought changed what could have been a most depressing environment to one which I still remember fondly even after 31 years. I know that the many patients with whom I interacted during those months of treatments and follow-up visits all had the same high regard that my husband and I do.
