Dr Gatti-Mays video

October 12, 2026

Dr Gatti-Mays is my medical oncologist and she was the featured speaker at my Life's Short, Eat Dessert First event a couple years ago. She is a huge supporter of Life's Short, Eat Dessert First. I'm forever grateful to have her as part of my medical team. 

She recently shared this video of appreciation for what Life's Short, Eat Dessert First has accomplished  https://vocalvideo.com/v/margaret-gatti-mays

Dr. Gatti-Mays is the section chief of Breast Medical Oncology and a professor in the Division of Medical Oncology at the OSUCCC – James, where she specializes in breast cancer, immunotherapy, side effects from immunotherapy and rare subtypes of breast cancer like small-cell breast cancer. Her approach to cancer care is based on the latest clinical recommendations as well as evidence-based medicine.
