For more formal learning, lectures are offered a few times a month. Topics include cancer treatment, side-effects, emotional well-being, therapeutic expression, nutrition, pain management, finances, legal issues, caregiving, advocacy, and survivorship. Many of our lectures are part of the Frankly Speaking About Cancer Series. These include the most current information about cancer-related subjects presented by medical experts.
Cancer Transitions
All Cancer Transitions programs are 4-week long, community-based programs. The program covers the benefits of exercise, nutrition, emotional support, and medical management — core issues for cancer survivors. Participants meet each week to hear presentations, engage in group discussion, and directly address the emotional and social hurdles they face during the transition period following treatment.
People who wish to better manage the short- and long-term impacts of cancer, especially within the first 24 months after treatment, will gain valuable skills through this program. It is strongly recommended that treatment has been completed.
