Survivor

You are a survivor. You’ve battled cancer and won.  Your focus now is staying healthy and living a full life. You might be looking for a support network of other survivors to share your experience or perhaps you would like to support others who are currently going through cancer treatment. You can find the resources you need at The Cancer Center at Kishwaukee Community Hospital.

Need a place to go to ask questions and hear from others about their cancer experiences? It is good to talk to others, learn, and share. Various networking groups, classes, and programs are offered here.
