Women's Wellness Clinic

Women who have undergone treatment for a gynecological cancer or breast cancer find themselves in a period of transition and a new stage of life. Some cancer survivors will slowly begin to experience their survivorship as the "new normal." Patients now begin a life-long journey as cancer survivors, which will include ongoing medical care of their physical and emotional health needs.

The Survivorship Program at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) offers treatment, support, and education for women who have survived breast or gynecologic cancer in the years following your cancer treatment. Important and relevant information is available to your primary care doctor and for your family and loved ones as well. Specific issues and concerns exist for women who are recovering from breast or gynecologic cancer, and may be addressed through the SCCA Women's Wellness Clinic.

At the SCCA Women's Wellness Clinic, located at the new SCCA Women's Center, you will be given a thorough screening and health evaluation by our medical staff. You will leave with a treatment summary that lists all of your previous treatment and all medical information that is pertinent to your diagnosis and any late effects you may experience. This treatment summary will have recommendations for you and your healthcare provider to optimize your health in the years following your recovery from cancer.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call the Survivorship Program at (866) 543-4272 or email us at survivor@fhcrc.org.
