Survivorship Program - After Treatment is Finished

When you finish treatment for cancer, you will see your oncology team less often. As part of your care at the Swedish Cancer Institute, the survivorship team is available to provide support that complements your ongoing care with your oncologist.

Many patients have physical and/or emotional concerns that arise after completing active treatment for cancer. Our team of providers support patients through the management of:

Physical concerns

• Bone loss 
• Cardiovascular risks 
• Fatigue 
• Lymphedema 
• Neuropathy 
• Sexuality / intimacy

Emotional concerns

• Fear of recurrence
• Living with uncertainty
• Memory issues
• Situational depression
• Spiritual health

What patients say

“Patti Kwok is caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and clearly understands the aftermath of cancer. Every cancer patient should have the option of spending time with her. She helped so much!” - Johanna C.

"Patti Kwok provides a crucial service for cancer patients. How to recover from the treatment that we have gone through. Every cancer patient comes through treatment with different side effects because each person is unique. I feel that THIS is the most challenging part of treatment. She provides a myriad of resources to assist patients with recovery. Because of her, I went to a three-day healing retreat at Harmony Hill (paid for via scholarships), became involved in the PERC (Patient Education Review Committee) through the SCI, and enrolled in several programs and took advantage of resources that I would not have been aware of, otherwise. Patti has a passion for her job that is contagious!” - Swedish patient
