Managing and Understanding Your Chemotherapy
This workshop is for all patients who will be undergoing chemotherapy. Their families, friends and caregivers are all welcomed and encouraged to attend. Many times patients come to the class for information and end up connecting with other patients and family members, comparing notes and establishing connections that provide support.
The class covers general topics including how chemotherapy works, common side effects, and effective self-care measures. In addition, we try to customize the class to specific concerns that people attending have while in an atmosphere that is more like a group discussion than a lecture. What patients and caregivers have said:
“The class calmed a lot of my fears and gave me an anchor to hold on to.” - C. W.
“I took the class to make me better able to support a dear friend who is going through treatment. The information I received was extremely helpful. It demystifies the experience and includes many practical tips.” - D. D.
