The staff and volunteers at Cancer Pathways are unbelievably supportive and welcoming. They cheer you on, lend support when needed, and make you feel part of an amazing community. I feel so at home here!
I joined GIlda's Club Seattle when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was able to bring my children, who had lots of questions about cancer and why this was happening to us. I joined a parents group, in order to get support on how to help my kids while I was going through treatment. I learned so much from the caring staff and other members that I now activley volunteer and am on the Board of Gilda's. I now refer anyone touched by cancer to Gilda's for FREE support.
