Dr. Pragnya Coca

My 68-year-old mother presented with advanced ovarian cancer that had metastasized. Dr. Coca's targeted therapy protocol, combined with gentle palliative care, gave us two precious years we never expected. Her compassion in explaining each stage helped our entire family navigate this journey with dignity.

A routine health check revealed early-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma in our 16-year-old son. Dr. Coca designed a pediatric-friendly treatment schedule around his board exams, using weekend chemotherapy sessions. His complete recovery and minimal academic disruption were miracles we attribute to her innovative thinking.

As a 45-year-old breast cancer survivor, I developed treatment-related cardiac issues. Dr. Coca collaborated with cardiologists to create a modified surveillance protocol that addressed both oncology and cardiac concerns simultaneously - a truly integrated approach I haven't encountered elsewhere.

Emergency admission with spinal cord compression from unknown primary cancer left my husband paralyzed. Dr. Coca's team identified the rare neuroendocrine tumor within hours and initiated emergency radiation. Today he walks with minimal assistance - a outcome we were told was impossible.

At 22, I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during my final semester exams. Dr. Pragnya Coca not only crafted an aggressive treatment plan but coordinated with my university for exam accommodations. Her holistic approach saw me through chemotherapy and today, I'm cancer-free and working as a software engineer.
