Positron emission tomography (PET) is an important tool in the diagnosis and staging of cancer, including re-staging the disease throughout treatment.

Commercial Chaos for a Cure was started after Paul Schelling, a Sioux Center native who owned a trucking company, was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer in his 20’s. Once in recovery, he along with his family and friends wanted to find a way to spread awareness about cancer and give back to the June E. Nylen Cancer Center where he had his treatment. And thus, their unique fundraising event was born and has been growing each year.
