Monty smiles for the camera, against a gray backdrop.

After a CT scan revealed Monty had kidney cancer, the physicians at West Valley Medical Center were able to perform surgery, remove the cancer, and save Monty's life.

"In the doctor's words: 'Maybe a week — was the difference. Because it had you — it just hadn't killed you yet.'"

"They put me so much at ease, with their whole attitude, their whole treatment process. Their whole approach was, 'If there's any way humanly possible to stop this, we will and can.'"
