Hear from the Cancer Resource Specialist…
This September will mark the 2 year anniversary of my position as a Cancer Resource Specialist. In that short time I have quickly come to realize that in many instances accessing resources for the person with cancer can be a process. In some cases it might be that you may not know who to ask or for others you don’t know what you might need or how a program might help.
In an effort to continue to share local resources I thought a monthly blog might be an appropriate venue to highlight specific organizations and how they can help.
Summer months can be especially challenging when you are in treatment and have children you have to keep busy. Keeping them busy while trying to conserve you energy can be difficult. Consider accessing organizations that help with children or offer activities.
