Presented by Missy Petty, LCPC, LivingWell
Many patients find themselves wondering, “Now what?” after their cancer treatment ends. This
program will help both patients and caregivers navigate the challenges people experience as they transition into survivorship. Topics covered include: changes in relationships, managing expectations, addressing anxiety and depression, the “new normal,” fear of recurrence, how to partner with your primary care physician and other providers, managing your health records, and envisioning a positive future. Attendance at the entire series is encouraged but not mandatory.
