What started as a small lump on the side of his neck turned into a life-changing diagnosis.

After noticing the lump, Steven Ditomaso underwent testing and learned he had throat cancer. However, he never faced it alone. With the support of his care team, loved ones, and his own determination, he made it through treatment and focused on recovery one day at a time. 💙🔔

Today, Steven’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to your body, seeking care when something doesn’t feel right, and holding onto hope throughout the cancer journey.

Thank you, Steven, for sharing your story and inspiring others with your strength and resilience. 🎗️

Imagine treating a tumor without an incision. That’s the power of histotripsy.

Histotripsy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused sound waves to target and destroy certain tumors — no surgery required. The treatment works by creating tiny bubbles that break apart tumor tissue while minimizing damage to nearby healthy areas.

The Lee Health Cancer Institute is proud to offer innovative technology like histotripsy as part of our commitment to bringing advanced cancer care to our community. 💙

Innovation in cancer care is happening right here in our community. 💙

Proton therapy uses highly precise radiation to target tumors while helping protect surrounding tissue — offering a more focused approach to treatment.

For many cancer patients, ringing the bell marks more than the end of treatment — it’s a moment of strength, resilience, and hope. 🔔

At the Lee Health Cancer Institute, we’re honored to celebrate these milestones alongside our patients, families, and care teams. Every bell ring represents courage through every appointment, treatment, and challenge along the way.

To all those who have rung the bell — and those still on their journey — we’re cheering you on every step of the way. 💙

Meet Allison Selbee, a clinical social worker with the Lee Health Cancer Institute. 💙

A cancer diagnosis can impact every part of a person’s life — emotionally, mentally, and physically. Allison helps patients and families navigate those challenges by providing emotional support, counseling, coping strategies, and connections to important community resources throughout their cancer journey.

Whether she’s helping patients process a new diagnosis, supporting caregivers, or simply being there to listen, Allison plays an important role in making sure every patient feels supported, heard, and cared for.

Thank you, Allison, for the compassion and comfort you bring to our patients and community each day. ✨

When it comes to cancer treatment, precision matters. 🎯

Proton therapy delivers radiation directly to the tumor — helping limit exposure to the surrounding healthy tissue. 💙
