This allows people to learn more about cancer survivorship and what they can do to help enhance their lives while going through cancer treatment and post treatment. The program allows members to explore topics including grief, exercise after cancer, living with chronic non-curable cancer, and other topics that cancer patients and their caregivers may not have addressed in other places.
