Marie Olson, 80, hurried home after ringing the bell at Jamestown Regional Medical Center. After 12 treatments, she graduated from the JRMC Cancer Center on July 14, 2022. Her granddaughter, Bailey Olson, got married the next day and Marie, who used to bake professionally, created the top of the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though she felt tired before her colon cancer diagnosis in fall 2021, now that she has received treatments, she feels better. She even feels more energized to do what she loves, including cooking, baking, gardening and canning tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t feel like resting,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olson received her cancer diagnosis in October 2021 after an annual checkup with Dr. Justin Rosenau at Sanford Health. JRMC, in partnership with Sanford Health, opened the JRMC Cancer Center in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, her care team included Dr. Jeff Wiisanen, oncologist and Dr. Robert McMillan, general surgeon. Dr. McMillan removed the mass in her colon and also installed a port for her chemotherapy treatments in November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt looks like they did a very good job and caught it in time,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re so fortunate to have all this care here, close to home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olson is grateful for her JRMC Cancer team too, including Oncology Nurse Practitioner Laura Bond and Registered Nurses Alicia Beckman, Garret Hillius and Caitlin Striefel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have been so good. I trust all of them,\u201d Olson said.<\/p>\n\n\n

Olson rang the bell in July; however, her team administered her last round of chemotherapy in June. She wanted to wait for the results of her follow-up test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMarie is one of those people where you can\u2019t help but to smile every time you see her,\u201d Dr. Wiisanen said. \u201cHer positivity and contagious sense of humor made everyone\u2019s day a little brighter. She was an absolute warrior during her cancer treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the mother of four children, grandmother of seven and great-grandmother to one, Olson plans to spend time with them at rodeos and baseball games. She also expects to bake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf I know they\u2019re coming, I have chocolate chip cookies ready,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
