When Sonny went to the emergency room, cancer was the last thing on his mind.
Within days, he found himself at the Solinsky Center for Cancer Care at Elliot Cancer Care and he knew right away he was in the right place. He found more than treatment. He found warmth. He built relationships. And when the emotional weight of cancer became overwhelming, an oncology social worker helped him access the mental health support he never imagined he’d need.
That’s what complete cancer care at the Elliot looks like — caring for the whole person.
Watch Sonny’s story. ❤️
