Stories from Grateful Patients: Karen
May 6, 2025
In Her Own Words...
"I found out I had pancreatic cancer from my new family doctor. He referred me to specialists at Hillman Cancer Center. I have to go there two times a week for chemo."
"The only problem is that Hillman Cancer Center is more than 100 miles away from home. I can't afford the high price of gas for such a long drive."
"Mercy Medical Angels sent me gas cards in the mail. I was able to get to my chemo treatments. I want to thank all who donate because it really does help us. One less thing to worry about."
"I have to finish my saying this. My husband and I are so thankful to all who are helping us and others."
