It’s quite common to feel a range of emotions once treatment ends.
This post-treatment phase of survivorship requires many things – physical activity, nutrition, a healthy emotional life, and management of any health concerns that may arise.
You can improve your quality of life by addressing these in an active way.
Cancer Transitions® is a free, 90-minute, four-week workshop designed to help cancer survivors make the transition from active treatment to post-treatment care.

Session 1: Get Back to Wellness: Take Control of Your Survivorship
Session 2: Emotional Health
Session 3: Eating Well and Staying Active
Session 4: Medical Management Beyond Cancer: What You Need to Know

Please plan to attend all four sessions.
