Ron Rivera, the head coach of the NFL Washington football team, shared the details of his cancer treatment. He will be treated with Proton Therapy, a non-invasive form of external beam therapy that will help him to continue to coach during the 7 weeks of treatment. Rivera was recently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lymph nodes in his neck. Proton Therapy is a highly targeted treatment and one of the most advanced forms of cancer treatment in the world, which will precisely target the cancer cells while sparing the healthy tissue in his head and neck.

We had the honor of sharing the journey to a cancer-free life with both Harry (coin #1776 - 2015, prostate cancer) and his wife Kathy (coin #2984 - 2019, breast cancer). This incredible couple surprised us with a beautiful plaque Harry handcrafted for the Center. We can't wait until we can all gather together again for our graduation luncheons! Harry promised he would bring his "rat-rod" (pictured below) for us to check out!
Have you ever wondered how Oklahoma Proton Center builds customized treatment plans for each of our patients? Our medical dosimetrists are the vital members of our radiation oncology team that create unique proton treatment plans designed to target cancer while sparing healthy tissue. These frontline cancer fighters are the heart of treatment planning for OPC patients. Happy National Medical Dosimetrist's Day to our incredible team, Randall, Clayton, and Dina! We are so grateful for the work you do (and your willingness to use algebra every day!)

World Cancer Day every February 4th is the global uniting initiative led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). By raising worldwide awareness, improving education and catalysing personal, collective and government action, we’re working together to reimagine a world where millions of preventable cancer deaths are saved and access to life-saving cancer treatment and care is equal for all – no matter who you are or where you live. Because, we believe that cancer isn’t just a health issue but a human issue that touches all of us.
