He thought it was just a migraine.

Then came the words no one expects to hear at 50: “You’ve got cancer.”

Rusty’s life changed overnight – but his mindset didn’t:

💬 “I might not have a lot of days, but I’ve got tomorrow.”

From northern New York to the The University of Vermont Cancer Center, a clinical trial gave him a path forward – and a way to help others facing cancer.

🎥 Watch Rusty’s journey.

Some people walk into your life quietly and change everything about your day. 💙

For one patient visiting our Infusion Center every other week, that person is Jessica Wescott, RN.

“I’ve been receiving infusions for over a year and a half,” Donna Haynes shares. “Jessica has been my nurse for many of these visits, especially in the past couple of months.”

Those visits can feel long, uncertain and sometimes overwhelming. But Wescott shows up in a way that makes all the difference.

“Jessica has gone out of her way to educate me on ways to improve my quality of life,” Haynes says. “If she doesn’t know the answer to my questions, she always finds it and gets back to me the same day, even if it’s a phone call later on.”

That’s care that follows you home. And it doesn’t stop there.

“I’ve also watched Jessica with her coworkers, and she is always willing to lend a hand. She has a broad range of knowledge and a willingness to go above and beyond,” Haynes adds.

We are so proud to share that this extraordinary compassion and dedication has been recognized.

✨ Congratulations to Jessica Wescott, our latest DAISY Award honoree. ✨

Thank you, Jessica, for being the reason patients feel seen, supported and cared for every single day. 🌼

How far can your body and mind really go?

Ultramarathons test more than physical endurance. They require preparation, resilience and the ability to keep moving forward when things get hard.

In this episode of Living Healthy Together, two clinical nutritionists share what they've learned from training for some of the world's most demanding races - and the habits that help them perform their best.

Summer is here and with it so many ways to find joy in movement!

This is true for patients across the cancer continuum and it’s why doctors frequently recommend regular exercise to patients. Research shows that physical activity can boost energy, reduce fatigue, and support mental health through every stage of the cancer journey. That’s why many oncology teams encourage patients to find gentle, enjoyable ways to stay active.

Integrative Oncology Health & Wellness Coach Jessica Coleman of The University of Vermont Cancer Center reminds us that movement doesn’t have to be a workout to be meaningful. When it feels joyful, we’re more likely to keep going and that consistency can make a real difference for cancer patients and survivors.
