❤️‍🩹February is American Heart Month

A time to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and protecting the heart at every stage of life.

For patients with left-sided breast cancer, heart health is an important part of the treatment conversation. Because the heart sits close to the left breast, thoughtful treatment planning matters.

⚛️ Proton therapy is an advanced radiation option designed to precisely target the tumor while helping reduce radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissue, including the heart.

At Ackerman Cancer Center, access matters. Patients deserve to understand every option available to them.

🧬What is Proton Therapy?

Proton therapy is an advanced form of radiation treatment designed to target tumors with precision while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Unlike conventional radiation, proton therapy delivers radiation directly to the tumor with little to no exit dose beyond it.

In our latest blog, we break down:
• How proton therapy works
• How it differs from traditional radiation
• Why precision matters in cancer treatment

Understanding your options is the first step in making informed decisions about your care.

💬 Time to Talk Day | February 5

At Ackerman Cancer Center, cancer care goes beyond treatment. A cancer diagnosis impacts the whole person, including mental and emotional well-being, and no one should have to navigate that journey alone.

Today we recognize the vital role our social work team plays in supporting patients and families throughout every stage of care. From emotional support and coping strategies to resource coordination and guidance, our social workers help ensure patients feel heard, supported, and cared for beyond their treatment journey.

💚We’re proud to recognize Shelby Goodman, who recently earned her LCSW license, and the compassion and leadership she brings to our patients every day.

🌍 World Cancer Day

On World Cancer Day, we’re sharing the why that led Dr. Jyoti and Dr. Stroud to choose radiation oncology and continue this work every day.

🎗️Observed annually on February 4th, World Cancer Day is a global initiative to raise awareness, strengthen education, and inspire action to reduce the impact of cancer.

For our physicians, this path was more than a specialty. It was a calling rooted in purpose, empathy, and a commitment to being present for patients when it matters most.

💙This is their why and it is what drives the care we provide every day
