Peggy Kessler - Pancreatic Cancer Survivor

In July 2001, Peggy Kessler was told she had stage IV pancreatic cancer and to go home and get her affairs in order. In this video, Peggy talks about how she found hope and healing at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA):

"After three days of testing, I looked at Dr. Mellijor and I said "How long do I have?" And he looked at me and said "Peggy, we did a lot of tests on you and I never saw one thing stamped on the bottom of your foot that said you were going to die in two months. You have no expiration date. That is in hands way above mine."

It's really unbelievable how one doctor can tell me I have two months to live, and then I got to CTCA and they offered hope. They offered to fight. If I was willing to fight, they were going to fight for my life also..."

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.
