Stories from Grateful Patients: Angelita

September 28, 2025

In Her Own Words...

"Hi, my name is Angelita. I live in San Angelo, Texas. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It went into remission. But then a few months ago, the cancer came back. My doctors all agreed that this time it was incurable, but still treatable. The best medical team for my specific case was in Fort Worth, Texas - almost a four-hour drive from my home."


"Mercy Medical Angels sent me gas cards, which relieved some of the stress I was feeling.  They improved my quality of life and helped me have financial stability. Thanks to Mercy Medical Angels, I can focus on living my life. Although my hope for a cure no longer exists, I'm still going to keep fighting to have the best life I can."
