Dr. DeCoteau's Journey
Breast cancer does not define me! I was diagnosed 12/3/2019 with stage 2 HER2+ Er/Pr (weakly positive) breast cancer. The diagnosis was shocking and I knew I’d never be the same again.
I am a board certified podiatrist in private practice. I was blessed with the benefit of having my colleagues treat me wit the best information and care.
I turned lemons into lemonade and created this advocacy to educate, empower and inspire all.
