Hope-Gaiti’s search led her early in 2017 to the University of Colorado Cancer Center, where she finally found her answer: a rare cancer called cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). The diagnosis resulted from collaboration between oncologist Dr. Bradley Haverkos, and dermatologist Dr. Theresa Pacheco, and their care team.Just a month before Hope-Gaiti’s arrival, Haverkos and Pacheco had launched the Multidisciplinary Cutaneous Lymphoma Clinic, the only one of its kind in the Rocky Mountain region, joining forces with other providers to assess, diagnose and develop coordinated plans of care for patients with a disease that often baffles even highly skilled skin disease and cancer specialists.
