| Friend, after a decade of misdiagnosed symptoms, Cynthia Sanchez received shocking news. She had thymoma — a rare, tennis ball-size tumor was growing on her thymus gland.
Because of her medical experience consisting of decades as a school nurse, she knew she wanted to come to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
“I knew I needed a higher level of expertise,” she says. “When my new oncologist said, ‘Don’t worry. We’ve got you,’ I knew I was in the right place.”
Please give to the MD Anderson Annual Fund now to help save the lives of people facing cancer.
Cynthia underwent six weeks of chemotherapy and surgery — in which her sternum was cracked open so the tumor could be removed — and then five weeks of daily radiation therapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. Today, I’m happy to tell you that Cynthia’s thymoma is in remission.
Donate now to support world-renowned cancer research, patient programs, prevention efforts and education initiatives that give people like Cynthia a second chance at life.
