As we wrap up Colore**al Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to highlight Mihaela’s story — an Armonk native and a powerful reminder that there’s no such thing as “too young” for colore**al cancer.

Diagnosed at just 45 with Stage IIA re**al cancer, Mihaela’s experience reflects a troubling national rise in cases among those under 50 — even among otherwise healthy individuals with no family history. Her case was especially complex, as a childhood VP shunt placed her at risk for a life-threatening brain infection during abdominal surgery.

Thanks to the precision of robotic surgery, our very own Dr. Alexis Grucela successfully removed the tumor while carefully navigating these risks — allowing Mihaela to return home just one day after surgery.

Stories like Mihaela’s underscore the importance of early screening, awareness, and trusting your body when something feels off.

Some describe the pain from a heart attack like an elephant sitting on their chest. But for 38-year-old Kelli Mackiewicz, it felt distinctly like "an elephant sitting on my back."

Here at Northern Westchester Hospital, Kelli underwent an urgent heart procedure that revealed a far more dangerous, often missed diagnosis: spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), a spontaneous tear in a coronary artery. Kelli had experienced a heart attack.
