Can Cope, an eight-week series of free educational classes for people facing a diagnosis of cancer. This program is also sponsored by Ortho Biotech, Inc., Beginning April 4 through May 23, for eight consecutive Wednesday evenings, I Can Cope classes will provide information about cancer diagnosis and treatment as well as assistance in coping with the physical and emotional challenges of this disease. All classes are free and open to the public. Participants may attend any or all classes. Pre-registration is recommended.
Parking is free.
Classes will be led by a variety of local experts, including physicians, an oncology social worker, a pharmacist, an attorney, cancer survivors, patient advocates, and representatives from local community organizations. People attending the classes soon realize they are not alone on this cancer journey, noted Maureen Wirth, a cancer survivor of Liverpool. Knowledge, support, hope and yes, even humor, are shared by all. Can Cope classes may enrich and enhance your life at a most difficult time in your life. I Can Cope classes bring together patients, families, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and professionals in the community who work with cancer patients.
