“Know Your Gray” - we measure the radiation used to treat cancer in units called Gray. It’s important, as a patient, to know how much radiation, or many Gray of radiation, is hitting critical structures. This is especially important with the heart for women getting treated for breast cancer. With proton therapy, we can often get the Gray, or radiation dose, to the heart down close to zero which is not always the case with traditional radiation treatment using X Rays. Watch to learn more!

Stacy Haggard’s sister was diagnosed with a serious head and neck cancer in her 30s. She would eventually pass from the cancer. Her sister’s husband would pass just a short time later leaving Stacy and her husband, Earle to adopt her sister’s three children.
