I Can Cope Cancer Support Series

Description

Living with cancer can be one of the hardest challenges anyone faces. I Can Cope helps you meet this challenge by clarifying cancer facts and myths. I Can Cope doesn’t promise to wipe away loneliness, fear, frustration-feelings which may occur with cancer. But it can help you understand those feelings.

In a series of classes, doctors, nurses, health care professionals, and community representatives will present factual and straightforward information and answers to your cancer-related questions.

The information and insights offered in I Can Cope classes help the patient, family members, and friends cope with the day-to-day issues of living with cancer.
