Cheryl Moeller of Grand Island
When Grand Island resident Cheryl Moeller discovered she had lung cancer a year ago, she had her family and friends on her side. In addition, she said, she knew exactly where she wanted to go for help: Dr. M. Sitki Copur and the Morrison Cancer Center.
Cheryl said all employees at the Morrison Cancer Center in Grand Island and on the Mary Lanning Healthcare Oncology Unit were “fabulous.”
“They were right there with me the whole time,” she said. “The whole staff saw me at the good times and the worst times. They listened to me cry and they listened to me complain, but they got me through it. They were very understanding.”
Cheryl said Dr. Copur got right to work on her lung cancer, doing the biopsy quickly and starting chemotherapy within three weeks of her diagnosis.
“Without that fast treatment, I would have only had six months or less to live,” she said. “It was pretty scary there for awhile. My cancer is treatable but not curable.”
“I am thankful to be alive,” Cheryl said. “Every day, I thank God when my feet touch the floor.”
In addition to the entire MLH staff, Cheryl said she would like to recognize her husband, son, brother, sister-in-law and the entire family; and the GRACE Cancer Foundation for their unwavering support during her cancer journey.
“Everyone was right there with me.”
