The ninth annual telephone workshop series, “Living With, Through, and Beyond Cancer,” begins this spring. This four-part series offers cancer survivors, their families and friends, and health care professionals practical information to help them cope with concerns and issues that arise after treatment ends.
The series is presented by CancerCare, in collaboration with NCI, LIVESTRONG, the American Cancer Society, the Intercultural Cancer Council, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, and the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship.
Part I, which takes place on April 12, is titled “Chemobrain: The Impact of Cancer Treatments on Memory, Thinking, and Attention.” Faculty for this program include Dr. Lillian Nail of Oregon Health & Science University, Dr. Tim Ahles of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Dr. Patricia Ganz of UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The workshops are free, and no telephone charges apply. To register, visit the CancerCare Web site ► CancerCare :: Connect Education Workshop Details. All workshops will take place on Tuesdays from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT. The remaining three workshops will be held on the following dates:
