Cancer patients will have a new resource for information next Monday.

Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and the Wyoming chapter of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation created a resource library and boutique to assist patients, families and caretakers after a doctor says, “You have cancer.”

The diagnosis is overwhelming, said Leonard Geringer, manager for radiation therapy at CRMC and co–chair for the 2008 Komen Wyoming Race for the Cure. He added that it’s often difficult for patients to find credible information. But the next steps are crucial.
