Going on helicopter assault runs and treating combat mass casualties might seem a world away from what Thomas Dear, DO, does in his BJC Medical Group practice. But those experiences helped shape the doctor he is today, he says.

Congratulations to Natalie Burns on her recent TULIP Award recognition!

Ironton, Missouri, resident Susan Bowen, 52, has had a love affair with music her entire life. “Composing music has helped me come to grips with having breast cancer,” said Bowen. “Everyone around me kept saying, ‘it’s going to be fine,’ but in my mind, I thought it might not be. My music allows me to express those fears while giving me the confidence to face it head on. Cancer may have called me out, but I know I have the best doctors who are going to help me beat this.”   

In many cases, breast cancer symptoms often include a lump that develops in the breast, which is either found through monthly self-exam, a physician exam, or an annual mammogram. However, approximately one in six women with breast cancer present with symptoms other than a breast lump, such as nipple abnormalities, unusual breast pain, back pain, and unexplained weight loss. 

Parkland Health Center recently announced they have entered into a service agreement with Air Methods to provide emergency air transport to patients in need.
