support“I came here lonely and isolated but now I’m feeling better.”
- Cancer Wellness House Member

 

"The Cancer Wellness House taught me that it is healthy to have Hope: Hope in my treatment, hope in my next day, and hope in my ability to get to the end of my treatments.  No matter what happened, I was shown by others who had been through cancer how important it is to my own emotional wellbeing not to always believe the worst, but to  instead make each day a chance to appreciate the joys and wonders of life.  I might not have realized how to use the power of positive thinking without the wisdom and lessons from the staff and volunteers at the Cancer Wellness House.  Because of them, I made it through each day, each month, and each year of treatment until I could return to my normal life again.  Thank you Cancer Wellness House"
