As a prostate cancer survivor, I know how to stand strong. When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, my doctor referred me to InterCommunity Cancer Center.

“I heard about InterCommunity Cancer Center from my friend who received personalized care from their physicians and staff. The wonderful staff made me feel like family. The biggest advantage in receiving treatment with InterCommunity Cancer Center was having the center located right here where I live. And I loved the convenient parking.”

Now cancer-free, I want others to know the strength and quality of personalized cancer care in our community.

Contact InterCommunity Cancer Center to discuss your treatment options.
