Patient Stories

Cancer Patients Share Personal Stories

One of the key missions for the Cancer Institute is to provide information and access to community services. Through its many support groups both within the University of Tennessee Medical Center and the community, the Cancer Institute is committed to supporting you and your family.

In this section you will find inspirational survivor stories that may comfort you while dealing with your diagnosis and during your battle with cancer. As a patient of the Medical Center and cancer survivor, the Cancer Institute welcomes you to share your story with patients going through similar challenges.

Below are Stories of Hope by cancer survivors—many of which are UT Medical Center staff whose experiences enable them to provide even better patient-centered care. The Cancer Institute and UT Medical Center staff, patients and families thank them for the courage and their willingness to share their experiences.
