| Dear
Friends,
1.
We would like to thank all the participants and volunteers
for the Cancer Survivor Symposium held on August
17 at the Given Institute. Additionally we would like to thank
title sponsor the Aspen Valley Hospital for their generous
support as well as the Colorado Cancer Coalition.
If you
missed the symposium, we will have the entire day on DVD,
as well as, an edited version that is about 1 hour long with
highlights from all the speakers. We will announce when the
DVD/CD’s are ready for distribution.
2.
At the Cancer Survivor Center, we have provided services to
over 76 cancer survivors over the last two years.
All of
our clients are adults. However, we are dedicated to helping
all cancer survivors and want you to know that we have adopted
a new policy to provide all our coaching, testing, and nutritional
services at no cost to any cancer survivor under 18 years.
If you
know any adolescents or younger cancer survivors who would
like to work with us, please let them know that there will
be NO charges for them. Should you be interested in further
information regarding the Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology
Progress Review Group, please

Last, an announcement that may be of interest to many of our
clients from the Wellness Community
The
Patient Active Guide to Living with Advanced Breast Cancer
This program will focus on the needs of women newly diagnosed
with advanced (metastatic) breast cancer, and also includes
information relevant to women who have lived 2 - 5 years with
metastatic breast cancer. Clear, comprehensive and unbiased
information is provided on the latest treatments, side effect
management and survivorship issues and concerns for women
newly diagnosed with metastatic disease, in order to empower
them to be active participants in their cancer journey. The
Wellness Community's Patient Active approach is used as a
framework for partnering with a patient's healthcare team
to make critical long-term decisions about treatment and quality
of life. This program is provided through an unrestricted
educational grant from GlaxoSmithKline Oncology.
