Saturday April 12, 2014 from 9:00 AM to 2:15 PM EDT
Continental Breakfast and Breakout Registration begins at 8:15 am
Being diagnosed with cancer changes one’s life forever. How we think, feel, and cope is unique to each of us. By looking through each other’s eyes, we can see how others have made sense of living with cancer, helping us in turn to better understand our own experience. Listening can inspire us to reconsider our past, take action in the present, or prepare for challenges in the future.
In this year’s conference, our moderator, keynote speakers and panelists will help us to explore what we have learned from living with cancer, and to consider the choices available to us as we move forward.
