2010 Cancer Survivors


Pierce County Cancer Survivors’ Conference
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 -- University of Puget Sound

Join area cancer survivors and caregivers at a daylong series of workshops and discussions, offering equal parts inspiration and education and a way to connect with others to learn about the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the cancer journey.
