Young Survivors Event To Be Held July 15
The Breast Cancer Survival Center (BCSC), which provides post-treatment education and support for breast cancer survivors and their families, will host a one-day event for young survivors on Saturday, July 15 from 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Church on the Green, Norwalk, CT. The day will include supportive discussions, music, and an outdoor walking meditation in St. Paul’s Labyrinth and Healing Garden.
“The issues of younger survivors are frequently different from women who are diagnosed in their 50s and 60s,” said Nina Marino of Norwalk, BCSC Clinical Director, who is facilitating the event along with Lee Fallet of Fairfield, BCSC Assistant Clinical Director.
“Young survivors may be concerned with fertility issues, early menopause due to their cancer diagnosis and treatment, how to talk to their children and parents about their cancer diagnosis, intimacy issues, etc. This day will promote self-discovery and personal growth in a caring, sharing, confidential atmosphere.”
Registration for this event, at $35 per person (includes continental breakfast and lunch). BCSC is grateful to the Westport Young Woman’s League, which has provided support for the event.
For a registration form, or for further information, call (203) 857-7304, e-mail BCSC at cancersurvival.org, or log onto the BCSC web site, www.breastcancersurvival.org.
