  • Knowing I had been a cigarette smoker, that article really impacted me,” says Sheckman, who smoked for a number of decades. “I knew I had to take action.” Sheckman discussed her concerns with her NSMC primary care physician James Gottschall, M.D., who recommended a CT, or computerized tomography scan, at NSMC Union Hospital. Sheckman’s worst fear was confirmed when NSMC radiologist, Sarah Whitehead, M.D., reviewed the CT scan results and discovered a mass on the upper lobe of Sheckman’s right lung. Because the cancer was detected early, however, Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center oncologist Rachael Rosovsky, M.D., M.P.H., and NSMC thoracic surgeon Dean Donahue, M.D., were able to work together on a treatment plan for Sheckman.

  • After the surgery, Kimball needed radiation treatments. “Life was way too hectic for me to go back and forth to Boston,” said Kimball. “I found the NSMC Cancer Center and realized I was getting the same quality of care, the same state-of-the-art technology, and it was just minutes from my house.” Because North Shore Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital work together, and have a collaborative cancer center, electronically accessing Kimball’s medical records made for a seamless transition to the NSMC Cancer Center. In no time, Kimball had an appointment with NSMC radiation oncologist, Derek Chism, M.D., who administered her treatment. She says right away, the NSMC Cancer Center felt competent and caring. “The people at the Cancer Center are some of the nicest I have ever met,” she said. “In addition to providing the highest level of care, they are kind, loving, and they’re interested in you—not just as a patient but as a person.”

  • Joyce decided to seek another opinion and changed her primary care physician to NSMC’s James Brown, M.D. He referred her for an MRI, which revealed that she had degenerative changes in her spine and bulging of the discs—the cushions between the vertebrae—and these changes were interfering with nerve function and causing pain. NSMC neurosurgeon and spine specialist, Terence Doorly, M.D., evaluated Joyce and decided the first course of action should be a comprehensive non-surgical approach. “I wanted to try to manage her pain with a variety of exercises, electrical nerve stimulation, medications and injections rather than surgery which is painful and has a long recovery time,” said Dr. Doorly. NSMC pain management specialists, Minesh Patel, M.D., and Edouard Vaynberg, M.D., injected a combination of anesthetic numbing agents and anti-inflammatory drugs into different locations in her spine to pinpoint the source of the pain. For now, Joyce is living a less painful life than she was a few years ago. “NSMC’s pain program has given me my life back,” said Joyce. “My care plan was seamless between Dr. Doorly, my physiatrist and the pain specialists.
