What happened, in summary
Bill Morris was diagnosed in 2021 with Stage IIIB KRAS G12D lung cancer after 9 months of misdiagnosis. His treatment included 10 rounds of chemotherapy, 30 rounds of radiation, and 10 months in an immunotherapy clinical trial. During the same period, his wife, Lori, was navigating a large brain tumor, placing both partners in serious medical care at once.
More than 3 years after treatment, Bill was actively cancer-free. He and Lori credited their faith as central to healing, and Bill began using his experience to encourage others facing cancer. He also became deliberate about healthcare visits: preparing questions, asking about biomarker testing, making sure he understood the plan, and recording information so important details were not lost after the appointment.
