SPECIAL GUESTS
Judy Garber, MD, MPH, is Director of the Cancer Risk and Prevention Program at the
Gillette Center for Women’s Cancers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. She is also an
attending physician at Dana-Farber’s Breast Evaluation Center, an associate physician
at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and an associate professor of Medicine at the
Harvard Medical School. Dr. Garber’s research is focused on genetic susceptibility to
breast, ovarian and other cancers, and the development of novel medical strategies to
prevent cancer. She uses the tools of cancer epidemiology and biostatistics, genetics and
molecular biology to identify women at high risk for breast cancer.
Denise Dameris Hazen was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer shortly after turning
forty. She faced seventeen rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and six weeks
of daily radiation. Throughout her treatment, Denise allowed herself to be filmed by
a CNN crew for their documentary on cancer treatment entitled Taming the Beast.
With her husband, Charles, their children Catherine and Nicholas, and her devoted
family and friends, she was able to endure her treatment with a positive attitude. She
attributes gaining her strength and maintaining an optimistic attitude to her support
system and her strong faith. Today as a five year survivor, Denise is the author of
Treat Her Like a Princess (Bright Sky Press, 2009), a book that details the loving and
thoughtful ways her family and friends supported her throughout her battle.
