Jim Got his Cancer Treatment Close to Home at Penn Medicine Valley Forge
When Jim, an avid cyclist, was diagnosed with head and neck cancer, he was referred to Penn Medicine for his care.
After his surgery, Jim received radiation therapy at Penn Medicine Valley Forge.
“The treatments were relatively smooth sailing, and the staff was great,” says Jim. “I am nearly bald, but I was told that I might suffer some hair loss, and my only question was ‘How would I know?’”
Now, nearly two years after his journey with cancer started, Jim remains cancer-free and is still cycling like a champ.
“I can’t say enough about the Abramson Cancer Center,” says Jim. “My surgeon Dr. O’Malley, my oncologist, Dr. Chip Staddon at Penn Medicine at Radnor, and Dr. Geoffrey Geiger at both the Valley Forge and the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine always put me as a person in front of me as a patient. Plus the staff at all locations have been phenomenal.”
Jim adds, “I want my story to give others hope.”
