As you know, Cancer CAREpoint provides free non-medical support to cancer patients, survivors and their families and caregivers. As more and more people become survivors we are expanding our programs to help them transition to their new post-cancer lives. Many cancer survivors share the struggle to develop their “new normal.” The goal is to acknowledge the trauma that is cancer diagnosis and treatment, but not to allow that diagnosis to take over the rest of your life. If you are done with active treatment, please consider the following programs:
Here is the calendar for May. We also have a new nutrition program that I am very excited about! Cancer CAREpoint purchased a set of videos narrated by Rebecca Katz, the famous author of the Cancer Fighting Kitchen cookbook. The programs are interesting, colorful and easy to understand. We will watch about 45 minutes of the program on each of two nights and our nutritionist Stephanie Figueroa, NC, will be there to answer questions and provide samples of the food prepared on the show. This nutrition class will meet on Monday, May 14th and May 21st at 6:30 at our Resource Center, please plan to attend both nights.
Thanks for your interest and support, as always, feel free to call or email if you have questions or concerns.
