Stories from Grateful Patients: Jeannette

August 8, 2025

In Her Own Words...

"Hi, my name is Jeannette, and I live in Dallas, Texas. I was first diagnosed in 2014 with Ovarian Cancer. I had surgery and chemo. However, that chemo was very hard on my body. I was then diagnosed in 2022 with the same type of cancer. Then I was diagnosed this year - again."


"I am currently fighting my third battle with Ovarian Cancer. I was needing to secure a trip to San Diego, California to see a doctor who specializes in the type of cancer I have. But I didn't have the financial resources to get there."


"I have been so grateful to have the support and assistance from Mercy Medical Angels. Mercy Medical Angels arranged travel for me on Southwest Airlines and helped cover my ticket. My flight was great. They have always been so kind, and it's been a blessing to receive the travel assistance from them."


"My quality of life is improving in leaps and bounds and I have financial stability, thanks to Mercy Medical Angels. Because of them, I have hope that I can beat Ovarian Cancer, once and for all."


~Jeannette
