“I did not view myself as a candidate for throat cancer. I lived a healthy life. I was a mountain climber, jogger, canoeist, 35-mile-a-day biker and a non-smoker with no family history of cancer.”
“My husband, Milt McPike, was a father, athlete, teacher, principal, University of Wisconsin Regent and friend to many. He was also a head and neck cancer patient who died in 2007. Our family was fortunate to have Milt under the care of the compassionate team at the University of Wisconsin Head and Neck Cancer Program. Everyone – including receptionists, nurses, physicians, surgeons, and therapists – shared their strength and talents. Their dedication speaks volumes about the strength of this program – a program that needs additional funds for research in order to save more lives.”
“For 40 years I made my living and lived my life relying on my mouth and voice in my roles as a spouse, parent, business executive, police officer, teacher, elected official, community leader, salesman and volunteer. Today, after treatment for tongue cancer, I cannot do public speaking. Strangers have a hard time understanding me one-on-one even when I carefully chose my words. I often have to write notes to get my message across, and telephone conversations are very difficult. I ate the last real (solid) food of my life during the early stages of treatment.”
“The professionals at the UW Head and Neck Cancer Program provide exceptional medical care wrapped with a huge dose of kindness and compassion. We are deeply grateful for their support over the past four years!”
