A simple lung scan changed everything for Sherry — revealing cancer she never expected. Thanks to her Murfreesboro care team, including Dr. John Zubkus, and the team at Ascension Saint Thomas, she never faced a moment of her journey alone.

Read more about Sherry’s story in the post below.

"I had no symptoms at all. I felt completely fine."

This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we're sharing the incredible story of Sherry, a Murfreesboro woman whose life was saved by a routine annual check.

Her doctor found a shocking diagnosis, but because of her decision to get screened, the care team at Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford caught it early.

Sherry’s journey is a powerful reminder that early detection is everything. Read her inspiring story and learn about screenings here: http://ascn.io/61817P4Vh
