June is National Cancer Survivors Month, and it is our privilege to highlight Liz Pope, who shared that she feels both honored and humbled to represent cancer survivors. Because behind every milestone is a story - and the people who walk alongside us through it.
“In the summer of 2024, my husband, Charles, completed 12 weeks of radiation for prostate cancer and then I began radiation for an aggressive basal cell in my nose. That summer, we were both bell ringers, a moment we will never forget.
I finished radiation in September, and shortly after, I learned I would need surgery. My surgery was scheduled for the same day as our son’s major open-heart surgery, from which he did not recover.
During that incredibly difficult time, Dr. Misleh gave us the confidence and courage we needed to move forward with my treatment. He gives each patient empathetic, individualized attention - taking the time to listen, address concerns, and carefully monitor each person’s treatment plan. I consider Dr. Misleh and the MOHC team a five-star choice.
Through it all, Charles has been by my side as my number one supporter and cheerleader. No one fights cancer alone.”
Moments like ringing the bell are powerful, made even more meaningful by the strength and resilience behind each survivor’s journey. At MOHC, we are honored to stand alongside patients and families through every step of their journey.
