Take a closer look at one of the most important steps in the proton therapy process, the CT simulation scan.

A CT (computed tomography) scan uses a series of x-ray images to create detailed pictures of the body, helping our team accurately identify the location, size, and shape of a tumor.

At the Oklahoma Proton Center, this scan serves as the foundation for every patient's personalized treatment plan. After imaging is complete, our physicians, physicists, and dosimetrists work together to contour the tumor and nearby organs at risk (OARs) using advanced treatment planning software. This detailed process allows us to design a proton therapy plan that precisely targets cancer while minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissue.

Fifteen years cancer-free is something truly worth celebrating. Shannon’s story is a reminder that healing happens one day at a time and that even the hardest journeys can lead to moments of incredible gratitude and joy.

To all cancer survivors, whether you're newly finished with treatment or years beyond it, we celebrate you this month and every month.

What once felt impossible became one day, one month, one year at a time. This milestone is a reminder that strength often shows up quietly—in the decision to keep going, even when the path ahead is uncertain.

Grateful for every person who stood with me, every lesson learned, and every day I've been given. To anyone facing their own battle: keep believing in tomorrow. Hope is powerful and you are not doing it alone.

Here's to faith, hope, healing and the strength we often don't know we have. 💙

Life gets busy, and it's easy to put off appointments, screenings, or conversations about your health. National Call Your Doctor Day serves as a simple reminder to take a moment and make that call.

Whether it's scheduling a routine checkup, following up on symptoms, discussing test results, or asking about recommended screenings, staying connected with your healthcare provider is an important part of taking care of yourself.
