Stories from Grateful Patients: Tammy

September 24, 2025

In Her Own Words...

"Hello, my name is Tammy, and I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Cervical Cancer in March. It was a life-changing experience; I never thought I'd be going through this."


"I have to drive from Lakeland, Florida to a hospital in Tampa, Florida for my treatments, scans, and checkups. It takes me about an hour just going one way, longer if the traffic is bad. Gas is getting expensive, and I was worried I would have to cancel some of my appointments."


"Mercy Medical Angels has made my travel less stressful by helping with the gas cards . Not having to worry if I'm going to make my appointments or not has been so wonderful! I want to thank them again for being so helpful. I'm so grateful and appreciative of them."


"I couldn't have done it without Mercy Medical Angels - thank you so much!"


~Tammy
