October 6: What is Survivorship and What Does it Mean to Me?
In the first session, we will explore the term survivorship and the experience of living with, through and beyond cancer. We’ll also discuss the lasting physical, emotional and social challenges you may face. Survivorship care focuses not only on monitoring for recurrence, but on managing long-term and late effects, ensuring ongoing care as your individual needs change over time.

In the second session, we will explore some of the most common late and long-term effects of cancer and its treatment. with a focus on fatigue and “brain fog.” We will also discuss how exercise, mindfulness, and sleep can play an important role in improving energy, focus and overall well-being.
October 20: Reflecting On My Journey
In the third session, we will explore the concept of post-traumatic growth. This includes the ways in which people can experience positive change following a difficult life event. Together, we will reflect on how the cancer experience may have shaped perspectives, priorities, relationships and personal strengths.
