Hello everyone, First of all, I am a cancer survivor my…read morename is Zouhair Mardini and here's my story. I am a resident of City of Snohomish Wa, and this statement is way past due, a year and a half ago, I discovered a lump over my right upper chest, I somehow thought I may have injured myself and that it would go away. Within a couple of months, that thing swelled up to become a 10 pound tumor, like normal, I didn't think that this would ever happen to me. So, I went into severe depression and non-acceptance, and I was terrified, and I landed at Dr.Costas's office. I truly think the angels have placed me at her clinic, she took over with lots of speed, took charge of me, within a few days she operated on me, I believe the surgery took around 10 hours and that she removed around 10 pounds between tumor's and ribs. I opened my eyes and here she was with her even smile and incredible personality, the kind of smile that makes you feel at ease, and a personality that makes you feel like you're going to be okay. I have never in my life met someone who is so caring, so professional ,so amazing, and knowledgeable at what she does. Her office is so thorough, her staff is so kind, as a matter of fact I look forward to visiting her office because I feel safe, I can't begin to say thank you to Dr.Costas that she has saved my life. I don't know any other word better than thank you, my family and friends they all thank Dr.Costas, I think we are the lucky ones that we have Dr.Costas in our county. I have never met someone with that kind of profession so quick to act. It has been a little over a year and every 6 months I have to visit Dr.Costas for checkups, for the second time she turns from her desk with a smile and looks at me and says " Mr. Mardini you are cancer free." . It's music to my heart and its like an angel talking to me, I so appreciate you Dr.Costas, and I do have two daughters and I hope someday they'll become just like you. Mardini
