Where is the room that the treatments are given3. What do the machines or medicines look like4. What will a treatment day look like This week Dr E tells the story of a patient who changed the way he practices; and of course Angel will be adding his perspective as well.

I want you to forget everything about your cancer.

I want you to start with a blank slate.

CROC is a not so much a thing but rather a movement for survivors to gather, to learn, to be nourished and to connect and for a brief moment, forget about the future and focus on the now!

In 1999, I tried an experiment based on my observation of the interactions between my patients. I took a leap a faith and started something whose power to soothe, whose potential to cure, and whose capacity to find light in darkness, joy in sorrow, laughter in fear was completely unexpected.

Together we turned tragedy into triumph.

And now I’d like to share with you the stories that have inspired me over the past two decades.

Welcome to the CROC Podcast… A Podcast for Cancer Survivors by Cancer Survivors.

I look forward to our Journey….

Citizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer
