Avera Medical Minute: Lung Cancer
January 14th, 2009
Leo Heinricy says, “I had a pain in my chest and I didn’t know if I had the flu or what. I had it 2 or 3 days so I went in to my doctor in Dell Rapids to have it checked out. They did an X-Ray and found the spot. They sent me to Avera McKennan after that.
And that’s how Coleman’s Leo Heinricy rang in 2008. Not the celebration he had hoped for. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in January.
Leo says, “It scares the living hell out of you. Excuse the language, but it does.”
