How could falling off a ladder save a life? Just ask Chris Williams. 🪜 After falling 10 feet off a ladder while trimming tree limbs, Chris experienced an excruciating foot fracture. Because of the severity of the injury, Chris underwent a series of imaging tests to ensure there were no additional fractures. And to his surprise, he learned he had stage 2B lung cancer! 🫁 Today, Chris is cancer free thanks to the compassionate care provided by WakeMed’s oncology and other multidisciplinary teams.
