Patient and Caregiver Stories
Choosing the right partner for cancer care makes a difference.
At MD Anderson, we provide our patients with the best possible results in the most caring environment. And we’ll do the same for you. It’s been our mission for 70 years as we strive toward Making Cancer History®.
But don’t just hear it from us. The best illustration lies in the stories of our remarkable patients. You may have seen these cancer survivors on television or in print ads, as part of our Making Cancer History campaign. Here’s how they and their families coped with cancer, and how today they’re cancer survivors.
