Create your best life: the create your best life series of live, virtual events was launched in september 2020 in response To the needs of our cancer survivors. Experts present in-depth topics important To survivors and caregivers and answer their questions. Thanks To zoom technology, we are able To schedule monthly events survivors can participate in from the comfort of their own homes. In addition, each session is videotaped and available after the event on the A Time To Heal youtube channel.
Brain fog: treatment can leave cancer survivors feeling like they are in A mental "fog". Specialists call it "chemo brain or "brain fog." For some, it's A nuisance, but for others it can be incapacitating. Nearly three of every four cancer patients experience brain fog. Patients describe A frustrating loss of clarity that can be life-altering. The techniques and strategies taught in our brain fog program help reshape the brain To function at A maximum capacity. This session is taught in an informative, fun, and interactive way that improves thinking, feeling, and functioning. Since 2013, over 1,500 contact hours have been provided To participants.
