2025 Honorary Host:
Jeanne Pierson

Ten years ago, at the age of 50, Jeanne Pierson received news that her mammogram was abnormal. With very few prior health issues, the news knocked her off her feet, but she was ready to fight. Jeanne put her trust in the oncology team at Mosaic Medical Center – Maryville and after surgery, radiation, and a five-year chemo pill, she was ready to live her life normally once again.  

​Fast forward 10 years to January 17, 2025, and Jeanne would once again receive an abnormal report on her mammogram. A new, more invasive type of breast cancer was confirmed from biopsy, but luckily stage one.
Jeanne knows that early detection and quick reaction from “HER TEAM” were key in beating the cancer this time around.
​

“At MMC-M, you get a team when you’re going through this so that you are never alone,” says Jeanne. They see you, hear you and walk along with you. They care for you as if you were their only patient!”

While Teresa Davison, mammography technician, supported Jeanne through her first abnormal mammogram, Megan Auffert, mammography technician, did a thorough job with the images this time around. The cancer cells were deep against her chest and without very good 3-D images, the cancer would likely have been missed.


“This is why our equipment has to be the best,” says Jeanne. “So we can get the best care.”

​In Jeanne’s case, it wasn’t a lump to be felt, but cells, which can only be found through radiology images. With her first cancer diagnosis, she had put off her mammogram for three years. Her life could have looked so much different had she waited a fourth year.

Through her role as Honorary Host for the St. Francis Classic, Jeanne hopes to remind women how important it is to not let “life” get in the way of your yearly mammogram and how important the most up to date 3-D imaging is to our patients in Northwest Missouri.
