Gray’s Anomaly: A Source of Empowerment Feb. 8, 2012 \| “I’ll trim it so it’s not so bulky,” James Y. Suen, M.D., said as he folded, then snipped a tiny edge of gauze off before he placed it on his patient’s right jaw. He has cared for 23-year-old Jasmine Gray ever since she was 11 when she traveled from Memphis, Tenn. to see him after first being misdiagnosed. Need Something Sweet for Your Valentine?

It wasn’t until she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2005 that she fully came to understand the challenges of facing a life-threatening disease. "When you become a patient, you’re not in control anymore,” she said. Hodges credits the strong support of her husband, family and friends for pulling her through, along with the care of UAMS breast cancer surgeon Dr. Kent Westbrook, oncologist Dr. Laura Hutchins and the staff at the Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute (CARTI) located on the UAMS campus. Hodges also turned to her love of creative writing as an outlet for her emotions. She has written eight essays on various topics related to her illness, treatment and recovery and plans to write more. “Creative writing is a form of therapy for me,” she said.
