About this event

Many patients find themselves wondering, “Now what?” after their cancer treatment ends. This program will provide support and education to both patients and caregivers that will help them navigate the challenges people often experience after completing cancer treatment while helping them get back to “life” after cancer treatment and find their new norm.

Second Tuesday of each month

Each month there will be a virtual live presentation via Zoom Webinar centered around patient education on various topics. We believe that taking an active role in learning more about your cancer and ways to manage stress, side effects and daily living can help you feel more in control and less overwhelmed.

Fourth Tuesday of each month

This is a traditional support group setting providing a place for cancer survivors to share their experiences. This forum gives the participants the support and strength to move forward together, rather than on their own. Many times members of the group will have similar issues and they can support each other with suggesting new ways to address the issues.

Hosted by: Shari Dowd, MS, LMHC, CCM | Team Lead Social Services, Clinical Oncology
