When Donella Coday’s husband got a lung cancer screening at the advice of his doctor, she decided to get one as well, even though she did not have any symptoms. The screening showed a mass in her lungs. Thanks to the early detection, Oklahoma Cancer Specialists and Research Institute was able to start her cancer care before it was too late.

Cindy Hess wouldn’t let Stage IV lung cancer get in the way of watching her nine grandchildren grow up. Through a friend’s recommendation, Cindy found a home away from home at Oklahoma Cancer Specialists and Research Institute. Within a year’s time, her cancer was gone. “I just feel like I got so lucky that I ended up there,” she says.
