My Story of HopeAt age 29, I discovered a large mass in my left breast. Two weeks later, I was diagnosed with stage 2b invasive ductal carcinoma—breast cancer, and my life was forever changed.LEARN MOREMy cancer cells were dividing rapidly, and treatment needed to begin right away.
I was blessed with a referral to one of the area’s best oncologists, Dr. Robert Ellis at Oncology Hematology Associates (OHA). He provided my family and I with clear and honest education and counseling regarding the monster we were getting ready to battle – all while maintaining the sensitivity of a friend. We developed an instant sense of trust. Dr. Ellis was there for me every step of the way, and I never once felt alone. I entrusted Dr. Ellis and the staff at OHA with my life, and because of them I am healthy today, cancer-free for nearly one year and counting!
Cancer is frightening but it doesn’t have to break us. My life after cancer is richer than ever. Both my faith and relationships are stronger, and I have made many beautiful friendships across my journey. My experience has allowed me to become a better version of ME, and I have the exceptional staff at OHA to thank for helping me become a cancer SURVIVOR.MeetMindyBREAST CANCERSURVIVOR -

My Story of HopeWhen I heard the words, "You have cancer…", my life came to a sudden halt. Everything was interrupted including my job, my family, my very life…LEARN MOREI thought I was a “healthy” 32 year old woman, working out every day of the week and eating healthily. I had no plans to get breast cancer, but it had a few plans of it's own.After getting past the shock of hearing I was sick, the fear of being a woman who might need a Mastectomy shook me to my core. My life came to a sudden halt and everything was interrupted....including job, my family, my very life!
When I first met Dr. Gillett at OHA, her kindness put me at ease knowing I was working with someone who really cared. After surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, I was able to start working full-time again within three weeks. Knowing my family and friends were depending on me, and being confident I was in good hands with Dr. Gillett made all the difference. I recovered faster than I expected and am feeling great.
I've been cancer free for 6 years now. Dr. Gillett and her helpful staff continue to follow my progress and remind me they are always here for me. It's reassuring to know OHA is helping people just like me fight their cancer, giving them new hope when all we can see is darkness.MeetRuthBREAST CANCERSURVIVOR -

My Story of HopeBeing diagnosed with cancer showed me it can attack anyone at any time for any number of reasons. For the first time in my life, I felt powerless and vulnerable…LEARN MOREAs a retired school teacher, I thought life had no more surprises and it would be smooth sailing, but boy did I get a wake up call! I was diagnosed with Stage IIIB/IV lung cancer in my left lung. I didn’t smoke, and had no family history of cancer, so why me? I quickly learned cancer can attack anyone at any time for any number of reasons. I felt powerless, and vulnerable for the first time in my life.
So, I began my research of the best hospitals and clinics and learned there was a promising clinical trial at MD Anderson, but how could I be away from home for so many weeks? I learned OHA is right here in Springfield, MO, and partners with MD Anderson, Mayo Clinic and Barnes/Siteman. I received treatments here at home and reduced the visits I needed to make to MD Anderson. The staff worked together to make sure my visits were comfortable, and I knew I had a team ready to support me at any time. I have my life back and don't fear the future.

My Story of HopeHearing I'd needed surgery, radiation and chemotherapy was hard to accept, but the doctors at OHA assured me they've had great success treating my type of illness...LEARN MOREI will never forget the moment my doctor told me I had cancer. The shock and disbelief circled my throat creating a huge lump that quickly sank into my stomach. My hope that this was just an infected lymph node quickly turned into fear that my very life was in jeopardy.
Thankfully, my OHA doctor, who was kind, as well as brilliant, quickly reassured me they've had a significant level of success treating my type of throat cancer. He explained I would need surgery as well as radiation and chemotherapy, but walked me through all the side effects and ways to successfully manage them. That really helped put my mind at ease knowing they had a plan.
They were careful to send me to the right facilities where caring technicians administered each treatment with precision and expertise. My side effects were minimal and I recovered quickly. When needed, their staff were always there for me to answer questions, help me understand how to properly manage any problems, or schedule urgent appointments. After a few short months, I feel back to my old self again and am living life with even more vigor. My last PET scan was clear, so now they consider me a cancer survivor! Thank you so much OHA!MeetJakeTHROAT CANCERSURVIVOR -
