Kim Holt &#8212 My Breast Cancer Story
Forty years old, just home from a trip to Italy, Kim Holt was shocked to hear that the pain in her side she assumed to be a product of overindulging on vacation was a result of Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer. A pea-size cancer that began in her breast had traveled to her liver which was three times its normal size. Three thoughts immediately went through Kim's head: "Why me? How am I going to fight it?" and "Please don't let my twin sister have it." The perseverance in her second thought is partially the reason she is alive today. What ensued was a long, hard journey full of wrong turns that finally landed her in the wise, caring and safe hands of Steven Mamus, M.D. This is Kim's story.

Harry Devor &#8212 My Lung Cancer Story
The lowest point of Harry and Dee Anne Devor's lives wasn't when Harry had to be revived to life after flat-lining prior to open heart surgery. The lowest point of their lives was when an oncologist told them Harry had Stage IV lung cancer and he had zero to three months to live.
Harry was feeling fine when he went in for the annual lung x-rays required since having triple bypass surgery four years ago. But this time, the x-rays showed a spot on his lung — a spot that turned out to be cancer.

Martha Koorie &#8212 My Pancreatic Cancer Story

With twenty years experience in the pharmaceutical industry and a focus on oncology research, Martha was all too familiar with the dismal implications of a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and she was not going to let that stop her. A diligent effort to find the right doctor, maintain a normal life and not all allow cancer to become her identity ensued.
