Outcomes

"When I first started to come to the group I was still in treatment, didn't feel great, didn't have a lot of energy - or hair - and it was a safe place. I had enough strength to be out of the house for an hour and a half. The group members were supportive and welcoming. They are survivors and that was very encouraging."
- Cancer Survivor

"Samaritan Counseling Center has been a life saver for me and my wife and I mean that literally."
- Counseling Patient

"When in treatment, a team of doctors, nurses and other healthcare specialists are directing and monitoring your care. You don't feel great but someone is always checking on you and answering questions. As treatment comes to a conclusion, the professionals are no longer there but the questions - and anxiety - and side effects - continues. Someone in the group will have experienced nearly all the fears, concerns, conditions and become resources to assist with many of the issues."
- Cancer Survivor

"As my condition improved, including the emotional and physical elements, I began to recognize the same fears, concerns, conditions in those coming into the group that I initially experienced. I gradually became less self-centered and was able to focus outward on others."
- Cancer Survivor

"I have recommended 2 couples to Samaritan Counseling. I cannot emphasize how incredible they are as marital therapists. "
- Counseling Patient

"You have to face cancer alone. Family and friends can be supportive, comforting, and provide companionship. But the diagnosis is yours. All of us in the group know this."
- Cancer Survivor

"A cancer diagnosis is a jolt to the soul. And the soul is forever altered. Mine stretched. I sense that in all the others. What an honor to share time and space with these open-minded and altered individuals. All time is more precious."
- Cancer Survivor
