There are many types of survivors, including those living with cancer and those free of cancer.” As a National Cancer Survivor Day® event, it is also a “celebration for those who have survived, inspiration for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of support for families and an outreach to the community.” There will be a wide variety of breakout sessions that you may attend if you are interested. Before, during, or after breakout sessions, connect with community resources sharing information about various topics for all cancer types such as nutrition, sexual health, physical activity programs, financial assistance, and natural beauty products. Many will have free giveaways! A mocktail bar and food will be provided throughout the event.
