Proton Therapy Patient Support Services

Patient support services provide a safe environment where patients can talk about living with cancer or other serious illnesses with others who may be having similar experiences. Support services give people a chance to ease fears and share strengths.

Facilitated by Victor Frazao, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist, the purpose of the Scripps Proton Therapy Center patient support services is to provide a private forum for our patients and their families to share their experience and practical insight regarding their diagnosis, treatment and recovery that can only come from first-hand experience.

Networking with other patients and families who are experiencing similar intensely personal issues, struggles and thoughts can be a valuable source of comfort and inspiration.
