Dan
Radiation Oncology Patient - Kirksville
The Kirksville community has long been without local access to radiation oncology, forcing patients to travel great distances for life-saving treatments. Dan, a 56-year-old business owner who employs many local residents, was diagnosed with prostate cancer and required radiation therapy. To keep his business running while undergoing treatment, he woke at 5:00 am each day, left by 5:30, and drove 180 miles for a 7:30 appointment—only to find that parking often took longer than the treatment itself. At the radiation center, Dan frequently saw dozens of others from Kirksville making the same exhausting journey.

Radiation Oncology Patient - Kirksville
Mary Jo faced breast cancer at 65, requiring 16 radiation treatments, five days a week, Monday through Friday. 8:00 am appointments meant early departures from Kirksville so she would still have time with her grandkids (24 then, 27 now). She counts herself fortunate she had her husband to drive her. The constant travel for each treatment added a significant burden to an already challenging time. The appointments themselves were a fraction of the time spent on the road.
