Scott Heisinger of Orcas Island Physical Therapy will be the guest speaker at the Thursday, February 9 meeting of the Cancer Support Group.  He will discuss the many benefits of various levels of exercise for cancer patients, including those in pre-treatment, during treatment and post-treatment.

The Cancer Support Group is a monthly, no-cost, confidential support group for anyone touched by cancer.  Hearing the experience of others and sharing information can be very beneficial.  The more often we share with others the more we recognize that we are really all the same.  We may not all be in the same stage of the journey, but we are all on the same journey.   And we can help each other, sometimes simply by listening.

The Cancer Support Group meets on the second Thursday of each month at 5:00 PM in the Fireside Room of Orcas Island Community Church.  All are welcome.  Call Bogdan or Carol at 376-4198 for more information.
