After three different cancers in six years, Larry Walther calls the MercyOne team nothing short of extraordinary.

At 83, Larry has faced prostate, lung and esophageal cancer—each treated with radiation therapy at MercyOne. “Frankly, I think those people walk on water,” he said.

A PET scan in 2024 revealed two new cancers, and Larry underwent radiation, chemotherapy and even a complex hernia surgery. Through it all, he found strength in the care and compassion of his providers.

“They treated me better than most people would expect,” Larry said. “We shared everything except hugs and kisses.”

Larry, a military veteran and longtime member of the Patriot Guard Riders, knows the value of honor and respect—and says he felt both throughout his care journey.

“I’ve never been treated as well or felt as comfortable with the people and the treatment as I do at MercyOne.”

Type 2 diabetes is a serious, life-threatening condition. But prediabetes can be reversed through medical intervention and lifestyle changes. That’s exactly how Michael went from a prediabetes diagnosis and a weight of 470 pounds to losing 130 pounds — and reversing his condition.

“I realized I couldn't be ‘Big Mike’ anymore,” said Michael. “I was a former athlete with multiple surgeries on my back and knees. The weight was both theoretically and literally heavy. I was being treated for my heart and was always told my numbers were prediabetic, but no one offered any treatment solutions.”

When Michael began experiencing issues with his eyes, he met with a MercyOne Diabetes and Endocrinology Care expert. He knew it was time to make a change — not just for himself, but to set a healthy example for his kids.

“MercyOne was realistic with me — they made sure I knew this would be a marathon, not a sprint. Over two years, they celebrated my progress, which kept me motivated to continue.”

Michael credits MercyOne for helping him change his lifestyle — and potentially saving his life.

1 in 3 Americans has prediabetes — but the good news is, it’s reversible. Take control of your health with small lifestyle changes today. Learn how: https://bit.ly/4obzl1H
