Guthrie Hosts Cancer Support Group

The Guthrie Cancer Center Support Group meets monthly to provide emotional and social support for men and women with cancer. The Group is held the third Tuesday of each month from 2-3 p.m. in the Guthrie Cancer Center Conference Room on the fifth floor of the Guthrie Clinic in Sayre, Pa. The next group will meet on Tuesday, March 19, 2019.

The series of seminars will cover common treatment areas of concern such as fatigue, nutrition, cognitive restoration, stress and anxiety and “chemo brain.” Participants are welcome to share their experiences about coping and triumphing in spite of adversity as well as survivorship.

Registration is not required but it is encouraged. For more information or to RSVP, contact Emily Scrivener, social worker for the Guthrie Cancer Center, at 570-887-2721.
