2024 Lunchtime Learning Schedule
June 3rd: Coping with Cancer-Related Post-Traumatic Stress. Most people associate PTSD with war veterans and victims of violent crime, but any life experience in which our safety and mortality are threatened can trigger PTSD. The physical and mental shock of having a life-threatening disease is a traumatic event for many cancer patients. We will review Cancer-Related Post-Traumatic Stress risk factors, symptoms, and coping options.
August 7th: Cancer Rehab/Prehab and Common Impairments. Jodi Deistler, PT and ReVital oncology rehab director will be presenting on cancer related impairments. Cancer rehabilitation is a specialized program for healing and recovering from cancer treatment. This enables people to return to life – family, friendships, work, and community.
September 4th: Cancer-Related Fatigue. Cancer-related fatigue is a common problem that faces many cancer survivors both during and after cancer treatments. In this session, we will discuss the causes of cancer-related fatigue and options to manage the symptoms so that you can start feeling great again.

Frankly Speaking About Cancer®
Frankly Speaking About Cancer® is Cancer Support Community’s landmark cancer education series, providing sound medical and psychological information for people with cancer and their loved ones through printed materials and in-person seminars.
The in-person cancer education workshops have long been a hallmark of Cancer Support Community’s dedication to empowering patients, caregivers and loved ones to gain knowledge as it relates to their own personal experience with cancer. Each workshop is led by a health care professional specializing in the cancer-related workshop topic being presented.
This unique format offers participants an opportunity to connect with others experiencing similar needs and concerns, as well as a health care professional, outside of the doctor’s office in a comfortable, safe and relaxed environment. You will have a chance to ask questions of medical professionals, patients, and other exports.
