“The
Cancer Support Center has been a lifeline; bonds are formed due to
shared cancer experiences – it has been a place to celebrate joys and
carry each other’s sorrows,” said Patti, a Cancer Support Center
participants and a Thyroid Cancer Survivor.

gives strength, guidance and support to anyone living with a cancer
diagnosis, as well as to their loved ones.  The Center is a
