One word. Endless meaning. ❤️

We asked some of our inpatient oncology nurses at Clovis Community Medical Center to share one word that describes oncology nursing, and their answers say it all.

We’re excited to introduce sound bowl therapy as part of select support group sessions here at Community Cancer Institute.

This calming experience uses soothing sound vibrations to help reduce stress, promote relaxation and create a sense of peace… something every patient deserves along their journey.

Grateful to offer experiences like this that bring comfort and a little light to our patients’ days. 💙

Glenda was diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer.

Under the care of her oncologist, Dr. Omer Ilyas, she began chemotherapy. At first, there was progress, but after a few months, it stopped working.

Her care team then turned to immunotherapy. But instead of improving, Glenda’s condition worsened. Her body began to shut down.

That’s when the difficult decision was made to move her to hospice care at home. And then something unexpected happened.

While at home, her body slowly began to respond to the immunotherapy. Month by month, she grew stronger. Six months later, Glenda made a decision no one expected… she took herself off hospice. It was a miracle and Dr. Ilyas believes the immunotherapy just needed some time to show results and that allowed Glenda to make a miraculous recovery.

She walked back into Dr. Ilyas’s office and asked for another scan and it showed no signs of cancer. She rang the bell. 🎉

What once felt like the end became something extraordinary, a reminder that healing can come when it’s least expected. ❤️

Meet Alyssa and baby Addison. 👋🩷

When Alyssa was five months pregnant, she heard the words no one ever expects: stage four cancer.

At just 27 years old, and preparing to welcome her baby girl Addison, Alyssa’s life changed. Instead of focusing only on her pregnancy, she suddenly faced a life-threatening diagnosis of an aggressive type of blood cancer: lymphoma.

With no other choice, Alyssa began chemotherapy here at Community Cancer Institute while still pregnant. Her oncologist, Dr. Haifaa Abdulhaq and along with others, carefully monitored both mom and baby, but there were many unknowns. Through every treatment, Alyssa kept fighting. Not just for herself, but for the little life she was carrying.

Then, in the middle of chemotherapy, something beautiful happened. On September 19, 2025, baby Addison was born healthy.

Addison spent about two weeks in the NICU, and during that time Alyssa continued chemotherapy while doing everything she could to be there for her newborn daughter. Even in the middle of treatments and recovery, she was learning what it meant to be a new mom.

Then came the moment Alyssa and her family had been hoping and praying for. On November 17, 2025, just two months after giving birth, Alyssa received the news: she was in remission. That day, she rang the bell, surrounded by her family, support squad and care team who stood beside her through every step of her journey.

Today, Alyssa is grateful for the team at Community Cancer Institute who helped guide her through this journey. Most of all, she’s embracing every moment of motherhood, ready to show her daughter just how strong she truly is.

Congratulations to Dr. Pravachan Hegde and team on this huge milestone! 🎉
