When Phyllis Zehms was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer, her world changed overnight. With the compassionate support and expert care of her team at Loma Linda University Health, Phyllis faced treatment with courage—and won.
Now, she’s choosing to take one more brave step: a preventative double mastectomy to ensure cancer never returns. Her journey is a testament to faith, strength, and the healing power of a care team that treats every patient like family.
At Loma Linda University Health, we believe healing is more than medicine—it’s hope, compassion, and whole-person care.
