Graduation last week

Graduation last week was another emotional time.  Several adult graduates thanked everyone for the superior treatment they received from the employees at ProCure.  All of them were so thankful to find Proton Therapy and ProCure.  The room was full last Wednesday and my treatment was after the program and the therapists in my treatment room stated that this was the fullest they had ever seen the graduation room.  In fact, most of them did not even eat because the room was so full.  The testimonies were so surreal, you just can't believe this place, I'm serious.

Across from Patty and I at the graduation luncheon was one of the first patients to be treated. Once I left for my treatment Patty and him discussed how he found ProCure.  I believe he drove by this place wondering what was being built.  In fact, he even went and knocked on the back door to find out what was going to be installed in this building.  He found out it was a cancer treatment facility.  Lo and behold, several months later he was diagnosis with prostate cancer.  Yes you know it, he came back to ProCure during regular working hours and investigated Proton Therapy.  He was treated and is doing fine, he was so glad he took the initiative and knocked on that back door.

Another young child's story was told.  This time a family from Spain.  Ivan was diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was 9 months old.  Today he is 6 years old.  His father told us the history and the story of Ivan.  The father literally recited every treatment Ivan had, every type of therapy, told there was no hope and sent home twice to die.  It seemed like this young boy's treatments took 10 minutes to tell.  How strong is this boy, the strongest I know along with his parents.  They stay at the Staybridge Suites so we have seen them everyday.

All the young children have videos played to music.  They show pictures of the kids throughout their journey of dealing with the cancer.  These kids are just normal children until this disease gets a hold.  Ivan's video included a picture showing him being blessed by the Pope.  I just can't imagine going through over 5 years of treatments, therapies, doctors, insurance companies, hospitals and everything that goes with cancer.  They are truly saints to keep the fight going, and they have never, ever given up.  (Jimmy V)

Hug someone that is close to you today, especially a child.  Then say a prayer.
