"At my last session, they escorted me out, gave me a hug, and I was on my way. In January, I am going to have another PET scan to see the tumor changes and, depending on the outcome, we go to the next step. I may or may not need to get more cancer treatments. So for now, I focus on living every day and feeling good."

Swart says, "My main takeaway is how thankful I am to have found such a wonderful cancer center. You can tell the staff is very well-trained and dedicated, truly best in class. Quality is important to them and they are in pursuit of excellence. I would recommend others diagnosed with cancer find a provider team they are comfortable with. Relax and listen to what they say."


Swart was in funeral service for 57 years and spent his career providing grief counseling, speaking out on suicide prevention, establishing hospice care in Hillsborough County, and serving our community as an auxiliary police officer. Swart has one son and has been married for 48 years.
