Adjusting to Life After Cancer
Developed by Our Clubhouse, LLPCT is a nine-week program for adults who have completed cancer treatment in the last two years. Participants will learn strategies for regaining energy and motivation through exercise and diet, talking with their medical team, and communicating with others. The program covers separate topics that help bridge the gap between cancer treatment and life following cancer. Each class is 2.5 hours and offers 30 minutes of exercise, a light meal, and a presentation from experts. This workshop has earned the Oncology Nursing Society's Seal of Approval. Email Colleen Dwyer or call 412-338-1919 to register and learn more.
