What Our Patients Are Saying

Breast Cancer Survivor

Hayley Arnold

When Hayley Arnold of Cameron, N.C., felt pain in her breast in August 2024, she never imagined it would lead to a life-changing diagnosis. At just 31 years old, a wife and mother to a two-year-old son, Arnold was told she had stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma—breast cancer. Her journey included six rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery and ongoing targeted therapy. But from the very beginning, Arnold said she never walked this journey alone.

Endometrial Cancer Patient

Judy Georges

For Judy Georges, March 2025 brought an unexpected turn in her retirement years. At 65, she was living a peaceful life in Fayetteville, N.C., when a moment at her kitchen sink changed everything. The action led her to A Woman’s Place in Fayetteville, where she was referred to the FirstHealth Cancer Center in Pinehurst. The diagnosis—endometrial cancer—was a shock.

John Sodoma

John Sodoma has walked a lot of miles in his career. It comes with the territory when you work in the golf industry. John encourages others to get screened for colorectal cancer after beating the disease in 2021.

Jenni Abbott

Jenni Abbott’s Facebook profile says, “Wife, Mom, Christ-Follower. Lover of Books, Music, Food and Fun.” In early February 2021, the Southern Pines resident added “Breast Cancer Warrior” to her list of roles and accomplishments -- and took her friends on family on a virtual breast cancer journey with her. Jenni graciously agreed for FirstHealth of the Carolinas, where she is a patient, to chronicle her journey through a re-creation of her social media posts during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
