In honor of National Cancer Survivors Day (June 2), we’re continuing the celebration throughout the week, sharing stories of hope and encouragement from our patients. Read what lung cancer survivor Marchelle H. has to say and join us in thanking her for her story. To see more of her journey and learn about cancer care at MedStar Health, please visit http://ms.spr.ly/6047YmWst.“When I noticed I was short of breath after a short walk, I knew something wasn’t right. I had also been having regular lung cancer screenings because I was a smoker. Unfortunately, new imaging performed at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital revealed a small nodule on my lung. Then, additional imaging showed another small nodule. Six months later, that nodule had grown, and an eight-hour surgery was required. “Today, I am back to work, and I quit smoking. I’m so glad this was caught when it was, and I was fortunate to receive outstanding care. I am truly grateful.”#NationalCancerSurvivorsDay #CancerSurvivor
