I HAD TO DO
EVERYTHING I COULD TO
KEEP BREATHING. Kathy Houlihan
Lung Cancer Patient
“My care team not only gave me a personalized treatment plan to fight my lung cancer. They gave me hope.” Kathy Houlihan will never forget the way she felt when she was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer: “I was terrified.” After conferring with her husband, Holt, a pediatrician, she decided to go to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America®(CTCA) website, cancercenter.com, to explore treatment plans that combined conventional medicine with integrative therapies to help strengthen her immune system while undergoing treatment. “That was the first place that gave me any hope.” In a matter of days, Kathy’s care team of lung cancer experts started her on a treatment program designed specifically for her. It included TomoTherapy® (radiation to target her tumor while minimizing damage to healthy tissue) and chemotherapy. She also received nutritional counseling and naturopathic medicine to help ease her side effects. As her scans showed her tumor was shrinking and she was recovering, Kathy knew she made the right choice with CTCA.® 13 years later, Kathy is singing with her church choir, learning to paint with water colors, and happier than ever that she chose CTCA. “I put my faith in CTCA completely. Because they had faith in me.” Read more about Kathy’s treatment and life after lung cancer at cancercenter.com/Kathy.
