Life Is Sweet A supportive team approach helps a cancer survivor through treatment and recovery FOR STEvE WERTH, a nuclear medicine technologist in CTMC’s medical imaging department, simple pleasures are truly the best. Whether taking a bike ride with Mary, his wife of 34 years, or organizing Banana Split Day for his coworkers, Werth values relationships, life’s sweet moments and, most importantly, the many blessings from God. His happy life, however, was recently disrupted when Werth noticed a swollen lymph node that was affecting his ability to swallow. His colleague, Steve Swearingen, M.D., a CTMC radiologist, examined the lump and immediately ordered a CT scan. Werth had plenty of experience with medical imaging since he built his career in the field— first in the U.S. Army and for six years with CTMC. This time, he was surprised to find himself on the other side of the technology. All in the Family Steve Werth credits his wife, Mary, with helping him achieve a more complete recovery. Werth’s test showed an abnormality, and the results from an ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed that he had throat cancer. Mary was by her husband’s side when he received the news. “She has been my constant advocate and has prayed me through everything,” 4 Central Texas Medical Center • www.ctmc.org http://www.ctmc.org
