An Invitation to All Breast Cancer Patients Entering Wellness Following TreatmentWe know that the breast cancer journey can be one filled with challenges. As you near the end of your treatment, we want to recognize that you have successfully completed the important treatment phase of the journey and are about to embark on a transition to new found wellness. The transition to wellness is an important step in your journey as a breast cancer survivor. Many patients encounter difficulties when their contact with their medical team diminishes and may be frightened at the prospect of cancer returning. To assist you in fully embracing your transition to wellness, Anne Arundel Medical Center's Breast Center invites you to attend a workshop called: Transition to Wellness - A Toolkit to Successfully Enter Life After Breast CancerTransition to Wellness Workshops for Breast Cancer survivors completing treatment are held at 6:00pm the last Monday of every month except May and Dec. in the Med Conf room, Floor 2 of the Sajack Pavilion. The Transitions Workshop recognizes the defaulters faced by many patients as they move into life after cancer treatment. Transitions provides a "Jumpstart into Survivorship" by providing insight from other survivors, a checklist for healthy living choices, a checklist on what is needed from the medical community to be a successful survivor and a preview of Wellness strategies from Wellness Practitioners. To register, please call 443.481.5305. Transitions is sponsored in part by a grant from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Maryland Affiliate. |
