Survivorship Support Group
March 2, 2015
6:00-7:30 PM
You have completed treatment with all the appointments and procedures. A myriad of emotions
arise as you ask, “What now?” People often speak of the “new normal,” but how do you get there?
Studies indicate that even long-term survivors feel the need for a supportive network. The Cvetko
Center acknowledges this need. Survivors are welcome to come to the Survivorship Support
Group and find care for the journey. The group will meet the first Monday of every month in the
2nd floor conference room at the Baylor NorthPark location: 9101 North Central
Expressway, Dallas. Registration is required. To register, or for more information, call 214.820.2608.
This group is open to survivors of all cancer types.
