Kristie's story
From Marie Benham
Four years ago, Bob Shelton remembers waiting in his urologist’s office for the result of his biopsy for prostate cancer. Bob had a long list of questions for the doctor that related to the assumption that the biopsy would be negative. He learned in a few minutes that no matter how well you are prepared, hearing the doctor’s words – “Your biopsy was positive; you have cancer” – is devastating. Bob's Story Christie Boedeker remembers the date – April 22, 2001 – just after her thirty ninth birthday when she found a soft lump in her right breast that “felt like a jelly bean.” She wasn’t surprised when a mammogram was negative because “everybody knows that breast cancer is hard as a rock.” Christie's Story Rose Mary Lewis: I was so excited when my daughter, Stacy Lawrence, told me that Marshall would seen be the home of a Cancer Center. The community of Marshall will truly be fortunate to have such a provider in their midst. Rose Mary's Story Jack E. Tatom Jr. was diagnosed four years ago with oral cancer. Jack's Story
