Dale and Jackie loaded up the car and headed to Proton Center around 10am this morning. They listened to "Ben's" gong ring! Ben, a new 11 year old friend, battling brain cancer, finished his proton therapy today. He'll take two weeks off and then start chemo! Dale and Jackie have watched Ben go from a full head of hair to a "Mr. Clean" man hairdo.
Dale let another gentleman cut in line for treatment today...the gentleman wasn't feeling or looking too well, so he wanted to be treated quickly.
Jackie and Dale left Houston around noon and headed home to Victoria for their last weekend of commuting!
Can I get a "HELL YES!" on the 3 more treatments that remain?

I wish the best to Dale and Jackie. Hope the wind subsides by the time you get there. We were there last week and it blew all week. We would love to have all come to were the wind does not blow!!!!!!!!!\\Love, Mike and Terry
HELL YES!!
Proton Therapy delivers a precisely
targeted dose, decreasing the amount of dose to healthy tissue and potentially lowering
side effects typically associated with radiation treatments.
