“I have more energy than I have in a while. I am so much better than a year ago. I send praises to Audrey, Annie and everyone here. They push you in a sense where you want to get better. It has been a great experience all the way around.”

“I have never in my life had more caring doctors than Dr. Ferry and Dr. McCullough. They go above and beyond for their patients and then some.”

“They don’t just meet the needs of the patient, they are very good and take care of the whole family. I just can’t thank them enough for how well his care has been here. The staff and Dr. Slaughter are just awesome.”

What does it take to survive cancer, to overcome it? Ask Gerald Tichenor, known to his friends as Gabby.
