(Yorktown Heights, NY) Support Connection, Inc. announces a free program: 7 Years Or More Post-Diagnosis: An Open Discussion will be held via Zoom video conference on Tuesday, February 28, from 7 - 8 pm (NY time).

Open to people nationwide who were diagnosed with breast, ovarian, or any gynecological cancer 7 or more years ago. Pre-registration is required. To register, call Support Connection, 914-962-6402 or 800-532-4290 no later than 5 pm (NY time) on Monday, February 27.

Even years after receiving their cancer diagnosis, many people find themselves facing issues, concerns and questions that can be challenging. The issues often are very different from the ones encountered early in the cancer journey.

The Open Discussion format presents a valuable opportunity to connect with others with similar concerns who understand what you’re going through, and a chance to help one another by sharing information, resources, and coping strategies. Topics will include: - Have short term side effects become long term? - Are you experiencing long-term effects from your surgical procedures? - Living with fear of recurrence? - Is stress and anxiety thwarting your self-care? - What tools and strategies are women employing to support their sense of wellness? All topics of interest are welcome.

This is not an educational program; there will be no professionals speaking about the medical or psychosocial aspects of cancer. It is a discussion facilitated by a Support Connection Peer Counselor. It presents a valuable opportunity to connect with others with similar concerns who understand what you’re going through, and a chance to help one another by sharing information, resources, and coping strategies.
