Dr. Willis: So Gina is coming back to see us as everyone knows, and I think I would just like to summarize some of the things that we’ve been doing with her so we can kind of see where we are in her overall care.

Kelly: We’ve been regularly following up with her from a nutritional standpoint and Amina actually Marissa had spoke to her about Abcapsation cream that was used to help with her back and I don’t know if she’s recently purchased that or not, but I believe it to be pretty effective for that purpose.

Minda: We do have to be careful with immune stimulation with lymphoma so we’re kind of backed away from that. She has CO-Q-10 on her list as well which is beneficial for immune support in helping to support energy levels after her treatment.

Nurse: Hi Gina! How are you?

Gina Watson: Hi!

Nurse: Good to see you.

Gina Watson: Here to see my favorite doctor, Dr. Willis.

Nurse: OK. Alright come right in.

Gina Watson: Ok.

Woman: Good morning. How are you? It’s good to see you.

Gina Watson: Good to see you too.

Woman: How are you feeling?

Gina Watson: Good.

Woman: Good. Come on in. Come on in and see your favorite doctor.

Gina Watson: Hi!

Nurse: Hi! How are you?

Gina Watson: Good how are you?

Nurse: You’re looking wonderful.

Gina Watson: Thank you.

Nurse: Just going to go over some information with you before Dr. Willis comes in to see you.

Nurse: Hey Dr. Willis. We have Maria Watson.

Dr. Willis: OK.

Nurse: Her labs are back and she’s all normal.

Gina Watson: Hi Dr. Willis!

Dr. Willis: Hi Gina how are you?

Gina Watson: Good how are you?

Dr. Willis: Well, how have you been doing since I last saw you?

Gina Watson: Good. I mean the pains better.

Dr. Willis: OK. Good, good.

Maria Watson: The steroid I think has taking effect hasn’t completely done what I need for it to do but it’s helped.

Dr. Willis: But, slowly getting a little bit better.

Maria Watson: Yeah.

Nurse: Minda, OK I have Maria Watson.

Minda: OK.

Nurse: She’s actually doing very well.

Minda: Oh good.

Nurse: Some of her issues are resolved. Her pain is much improved since she had that injection, that saline injection.

Minda: OK. OK.

Minda: Hey Kelly. So I just met with Maria and she’s doing really great. Her nausea’s well controlled with the sofran; her constipation is well controlled with the sinocod. And she’s doing the vitamin D, she’s not having any problems with any of her supplementation, and I actually haven’t made any changes to her list.

Kelly (long brown hair): Great, great.

Minda: OK. So she’s ready to see you.

Kelly: Great! Thank you.

Minda: Great.

Kelly: Hi! Hi Gina how are you doing?

Gina Watson: Good. How are you?

Kelly: Good to see you again.

Gina Watson: Good to see you too.

Kelly: Wanted to come and talk to you a little bit, and see what’s going on. I just spoke with Amina briefly about your case and you know we kind of have that nice interaction in between so I don’t have to ask you all these repeated questions all over again. But, I just wanted to follow up with you. I know that you haven’t seen a dietitian in a few weeks, so I wanted to see how things were going in the last few weeks as far as your nutritional status goes and how you’ve been eating.

Maria Watson: Doing well.

Kelly: Doing well.

Maria Watson: Yeah.

Kelly: Great!

Maria Watson: Yeah. I have a pretty good appetite.

Kelly: Good. Good appetite. I know that was something that we were struggling with for a while.

Maria Watson: Probably too good sometimes.

Kelly: Too good?

Kelly: Cath, Hey how are you doing? Just got done finishing up with Maria Watson.

Cathy: OK.

Kelly: She’s doing really well. She’s maintaining her weight, she has a great appetite.

Cathy: Ok. Great!

Kelly: She’s been taking her supplements as recommended so her nausea and her constipation is resolved.

Cathy: Awesome.

Kelly: So, she’s all ready to see you.

Cathy: Alright, great! Thank you. So, I’m going to give you my card so make sure you have our hotline number because we’re here.

Maria Watson: OK.

Cathy: Open twenty-four seven if you need anything.

Maria Watson: Sounds great!

Cathy: Did you need anything else?

Maria Watson: No. That’s good, thank you.

Cathy: Alright. Nice seeing you again.

Maria Watson: Good seeing you too.

Cathy: OK.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
