Cancer workshop offered
Placeholder Image

Cancer can strike fear, confusion, and helplessness in individuals diagnosed with the disease and their caregivers. Cancer patients/survivors must deal not only with their disease, but also with the impact this has on their lives and emotions.
A self-management approach to cancer education gives cancer patients/survivors the knowledge, tools and confidence to take day-by-day control of their health and treatment decisions.
In August and September, the University of Tennessee – Tennessee State University Extension will be offering a free Cancer: Thriving and Surviving workshop. The six-week program is designed for people with cancer and caregivers to learn basic skills necessary to self-manage their disease and work effectively with their health care
The Cancer: Thriving and Surviving Program is conducted by two leaders certified by Stanford University Cancer: Thriving and Surviving trainers. Classes will be held on the following days:  Tuesday, Aug. 1; Thursdays, Aug. 10, 17, and 24 and Wednesdays, Aug. 30 and Sept. 6.  Classes will be held from 9 - 11 a.m. at the Warren County Administrative Building.
