Patient Stories
-
A pediatric cancer patient recently received a fun surprise during a treatment session when her care team transformed the radiation machine overnight into a cheerful, smiling unicorn. The five-year-old patient was so happy about the adorably decorated “unicorn machine” that she ran into the treatment room with excitement the next day.
