Patient Stories
Colon Cancer Survivor
Joe Goode
“The process is easy. You’re very comfortable and relaxed, then you wake up and get your results. You just have to take a day off from work, and that day off can save your life.”
Lung Cancer Survivor
John Thompson
"I feel as good as I ever did. The scars from surgery were small, and now I can’t see them at all. I trusted the doctors and they did a great job.”
Lung Cancer Survivor
Rebecca Carreto
Dr. Templin was very reassuring, very confident and organized. “He told me 'we’re going to take good care of you.' And that’s exactly what they did."
Breast Cancer Survivor
Autumn Landos
“The team at CHI Franciscan supported my decisions and helped me get the treatment that worked best for me.”
Breast Cancer Survivor
Kathy Himes
“You can’t let your guard down - even missing one mammogram can mean an entirely different outcome. Just schedule it. Around your birthday each year is a great time.”
Colon Cancer Survivor
Valerie Schock
“I was fortunate to have excellent care from three female providers. I knew I wanted to put my health in the hands of the Franciscan providers.”
Midwifery Birth Center
April Murphree
“I really noticed that every person that we interacted, the doulas, midwives and nurses, were genuinely happy about our baby. They met us in our concerns, not treating it clinically,” April said. “There was a lot of nurturing and sweet responses. Everyone was very responsive to our questions.”
Prostate Cancer Survivors
Scott Vanderflute and Kelly Bolender
"Dr. Willis is a brilliant surgeon, but perhaps more important is how deeply he cares,” said Kelly. “He treated me like a good friend. He’s caring and easy to talk to, and his goal was 100 percent recovery. His belief in me and my recovery helped me believe."
Breast Cancer Survivor
Yvette Fosberg
I just want people to know that you have to get your mammogram, even if you don’t have any signs. If it hadn’t been for the mammogram I would never have had a clue that something was going on.
Lung Cancer Survivor
Kathy Calvert
Kathy considers herself “one of the lucky ones!” And you won’t find a more positive and energetic person. Today, she is grateful for the excellent care she received and is a proponent of lung cancer screening for those who really need it.
