CNN features local cancer program

A Dunwoody cancer program is getting national attention.

ChemoChic, an affiliate of the Georgia Cancer Foundation, was recently featured on CNN.

ChemoChic is a one-day class for women undergoing chemotherapy. They get life lessons from a nutritionist, a yoga instructor and a social worker.

"This is a program to empower women going through chemotherapy for any type of cancer," said ChemoChic coordinator Rudi Caruthers.

The class featured on CNN Oct. 3 was held at the Wellness Community Atlanta facility on Peachtree Dunwoody Road. Upcoming sessions will be held there and at the Longstreet Clinic in Gainesville and a facility in Warner Robins.
