In Fall 2020, after beating breast cancer nearly 20 years earlier, Janet Gorence Davas learned the cancer was back and it had spread. She underwent surgery and radiation in New England where her daughter lives, but Davas wanted to return home to North Carolina. Her doctors recommended continuing treatment at the Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis. There, Davas’s care team focused on slowing disease progression, limiting medication side effects, and treating the downstream effects of her incurable cancer. In the four years since her metastatic cancer diagnosis, Davas has remained active, continues to travel, and runs a business. “I'm optimistic in that I am getting the best care in the world in my opinion,” she said.
