“Anything is possible.”

That’s the message Dr. Kaitlyn Kelly hopes young women take from her career.
The UW Health | Carbone Cancer Center surgical oncologist recently served as Wisconsin Volleyball’s honorary captain for Women in Leadership Night.

What motivates oncology nurse Amy Koelemay every day?

“Hands down, my patients and their families!! So many of my own family members have been in their shoes, so giving them the same care that I want given to my family members is always at the top of mind. Cancer is one of the scariest words to people, so to be able to provide comfort, compassion, and the best care possible to the most deserving patient population motivates me every single day.”

Research shows that staying active after a colon cancer diagnosis may help reduce the risk of the cancer coming back.

65-year-old Carl, a former college basketball player and retired coach, says getting back to working out was not easy. But taking small steps with some big encouragement from his oncologist, Dr. Nameer Mardini at UW Health | Carbone Cancer Center Rockford, helped him get back on track.

Carl's story is a reminder that recovery doesn't happen all at once. Survivorship is built through patience, support and small victories.
