| Program Testimonials Program Testimonials Dear Cancer Wellness Center "I want to thank you for all you've done for my family. It may not seem like much to you but while my husband was dealing with cancer, we found ourselves in need of information about all kinds of things that seemed to be out of our reach. You were able to provide us with that information, which put us more at ease. Until we contacted you , we felt like we we were going crazy looking for resources. But that isn't all. You were always supportive and encouraging. You provided hope and understanding. We are ever so grateful to you for your center and your services." "It was helpful to talk to someone who has "been there". "My coach had a similar experience, explained treatments and how to care for myself. Offered comfort and hope". "My coach had the warmest voice with a very upbeat attitude. Not a Pollyanna-just the right attitude. She was a good listener and she'd remember details of what I had told her before. She seemed to completely understand we were in the same boat.". "I liked that I could talk over my fears and questions to someone who had the same type of cancer". "I ask a question and shortly after, literature is sent to me from the Cancer Wellness Center. Two cancer coaches call to answer my questions and give me encouragement and direction. I wish I knew about the program sooner". "It was my first contact with anyone in a similar situation. It was wonderful to speak to someone who had a calming foice. It was a great help to me" "Being so housebound, I liked receiving the weekly cancer coach calls. It was uplifting. I didn't feel so alone".

MEDICAL SCHOOL EVALUATIONS Student comments: "It's already the best experience I've had in medical school so far. Thank you for this experience. Seeing real-life patients makes all the difference in the amountj of knowledge we acquire. Thank you for this program". "It is hard to say aloud, but as future physicians we are fortunate to get to know patients so personally so quickly. You learn as much about a person in 12 minutes that would take years to glean out of someone in building a friendship. The panel of speakers served as a reminder of how privileged we are to gain such a personal glimpse". "My patient was wonderful. The patients show how resilient humans are when given proper support, which physicians are uniquely able to provide with proper instruction". "This was a wonderful reminder that we will be treating amazing people with interesting stories, families, hopes and fears, not just a chart with lab values". "One of the most worthwhile experiences yet in medical school. The survivors serve as an inspiration to me as a future physician and to my future patients". "
