Stories from Grateful Patients: Carol

In Her Own Words...

"I have non-Hodgkins fascicules cell lymphoma after being on chemotherapy for 18 months. Currently, my lymphoma is stable. That means it isn't growing, but it isn't completely in remission either. I have to go to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston for treatment, checkups, and scans."


"I am a 77-year-old widow living off of Social Security in the senior citizen apartment. I wouldn't be able to undertake these obligations that are keeping me alive if it wasn't for Mercy Medical Angels."


"By helping me with the cost of airfare to the cancer center in Houston, Mercy Medical Angels helped me immensely. Financially, I am still struggling with medical insurance prescription cost, and even food. I would have never been able to afford air travel for medical care, along with my son who helps me, if it were not for Mercy Medical Angels. As far as my mental wellness, if I were not able to see my medical team at MD Anderson Cancer Center, I would be very mentally distressed. That could actually cause a flareup."


"I'm just blessed. If it wasn't for Mercy Medical Angels,  I would not be able to see the lymphoma doctors at MD Anderson for my treatments, checkups, and scans. Praise God for this organization!"
