Cancer Fighters Stories

 Get to know Jim Randall

Jim Randall is a lung cancer patient and Cancer Fighter at Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center. When Jim was diagnosed, he and his wife Cheryle knew they wanted to fight back with advanced treatments and expert cancer doctors.  They decided to leave their local area and travel 608 miles to get the treatment they were seeking. 

When Jim and Cheryle joined Cancer Fighters, they found a group where they fit in.  They made new friends and found support during the tough times.  Back in their local community, the couple spread the word about Jim's successful cancer journey at CTCA.  Jim and Cheryle encourage others with a cancer diagnosis to call them day or night with any questions. Read Jim's full story including his successful fight against cancer.
