Done. Doing the survey made me realize how many resources I had available to me and USED during my treatments. They even missed a few like home care post surgery and programs offered by Cancercare (free) such as Yoga for cancer patients, etc.

Donna, your post reminded me of all the various programs offered at the hospital where my son was treated. I did a lot of waiting in different places while my son was seen and being treated, so I noticed all the little signs and pamphlets around. There was even a class on Laughter Therapy!

The survey only took about 10 minutes and asked some good questions. I passed the request on to some of my OC friends who don't normally come on the forum.

At the end they asked you if you want a copy of the results -- I said YES! I may share the report with some of my doctors.
