Margaret Zuccotti was a young, energetic 37-year-old mother when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. Upon her doctor's recommendation, she sought treatment at Fox Chase Cancer Center, where she underwent chemotherapy, and, later, a mastectomy, in order to do everything she could to combat her breast cancer. Today she is cancer free, but still goes back to Fox Chase every three weeks for an infusion with maintenance therapy, as follow-up care. "It has now been over 10 years since I learned of my cancer diagnosis," Margaret said. "At the beginning, I had hoped that I could survive two years. Then at two years I was doing well so I thought maybe I would live five more years. Now, 10 years later, I know I have a long life with my wonderful family ahead of me."
