A program empowering people with cancer in the transitional period after treatment is over is coming to the Cedar Valley. The Covenant Cancer Treatment Center is excited to announce they will be implementing the LiveStrong Cancer Transitions Program. Cancer Transitions™ is a six week, community based program.

The program covers the benefits of exercise, nutrition, emotional support, and medical management some of the core issues for cancer survivors. Focus of these sessions will be addressing the emotional and social hurdles that survivors face during the transition period following treatment through group discussion.

Men and women who wish to better manage the short- and long-term impacts of cancer will gain valuable skills through this program. Initial research shows that both men and woman who participate can experience :
1- Less worry about the negative impacts of cancer;
2- Better physical and social function;
3- More commitment to physical activity and;
4- Improvements in fat-related dietary habits.

We would like to have up to 10 participants in each group. There will be two sessions of 2.5 hours long held each week. To accommodate schedules one class will be held during the day on Thursdays at 2:30 pm and the other class will be held in the evening on Tuesdays at 5:30 pm.

Each session will be led by experts in that area. Classes will start on Tuesday Jan. 10th at 5:30 pm and Thursday Jan. 12th at 2:30pm. Both classes will run for six weeks.

Classes will be held at the Covenant Cancer Treatment Center. The cost for the course and all supplies is free. For more information please call Timi Brown at 272-1755.

“This program comes to us through a LiveStrong grant that the community helped us receive by voting support to the organization. Thank you to the Cedar Valley for your support,” Timi Brown states.
