Seattle Cancer Care Alliance is starting a Proton Therapy Support Group for patients of the Proton Therapy Center.

If you are in any stage of your proton therapy treatment, we hope that you will join us for this monthly gathering. Come meet others who are getting ready for treatment, in treatment, or post treatment.  

This group will provide you with an opportunity to share with others living with similar challenges in a supportive environment. Educational presentations will be offered every other month.

The group will be facilitated by Denise Krouse, Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Cancer Lifeline.

The group will meet in the Lobby of SCCA Proton Therapy Center, 1570 N 115th St, Seattle 98125, on Saturday, March 17, 2018 from 10am to 11:30am. First building on the left as you enter the Northwest campus. Attendees can park in any public space; there is a parking lot on the west side of the building marked “proton parking only.”

The speaker for the first meeting will be Craig Peterson, ND, MS, LAc, FABNO on the topic of Integrating Naturopathic Medicine with Proton Therapy.

With a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University, and board certification as a Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO), Dr. Peterson has expertise and clinical experience in working with patients who have cancer and other hematologic conditions.

He will talk about how he works with oncologists to deliver safe and effective integrative care that does not interfere with patients’ conventional cancer treatments. He will also discuss how after treatment, he shifts his focus to the patient’s recovery, reducing recurrence, and restoring optimal health.

RSVP to Meredith Fane. RSVPs are appreciated but not necessary.
