Helping Others Cope With Cancer Explored at Lifetree Café at 611 Clark Ave, Thursday @ 7-8 PM

Practical tips for helping loved ones cope with cancer will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Thursday, February 25th at 7:00 to 8:00 PM>

The program, titled “Loving Those with Cancer: How to Cope, Care, and Give Hope,” features filmed interviews with a cancer caregiver and a cancer patient who both share insights they’ve learned while dealing with the disease.

“We pray for everyone who comes through our doors,” says Frida Probasco, owner of a wig shop that often provides services to cancer patients. “We don’t just put wigs on their heads and send them on their way. We actually listen to them, and we let them know we care for them.”
