Patient Spotlight: Kirk's Story

 

Lung cancer survivor Kirk Davis and granddaughter.
"Period. End of story. It saved my life."

-Kirk Davis, Lung Cancer Survivor

On May 8, 2014—the day Kirk Davis' first granddaughter was born—he received devastating news: he had lung cancer.

But there was good news, too. Kirk's cancer had been found through a low dose screening CT scan at Middlesex Health, and it was at an extremely early stage.

So early, in fact, that it could be treated with surgery alone—no chemo, no radiation. After just a two-day hospital stay, Kirk was able to go home and start spending time with his newest family member.

Kirk continued receiving annual screening, and in 2019, he was again diagnosed with lung cancer. It was an entirely new cancer, not related to his first.

But once again, thanks to early detection, Kirk was able to be treated with surgery alone. Today, he's back to spending time with the apple of his eye.
