Dear Guests-
October is filled with some great new offerings! Make sure to check out the full calendar of workshops and classes.
Muriel will be offering a special 8-week workshop on Finding Your Voice. This workshop offers a chance to heal past wounds and move forward with strength and grace.
On a similar theme, this month's Toolbox Series focuses on trauma and how that impacts you in being your own advocate. We'll be offering coping and healing techniques.
Best,
Deborah Stambler
Program Director

Clinical Corner:
Oral Cancer Medications: What You Should Know
Opting for oral cancer medications isn't always as simple as taking a pill
For a patient who requires frequent hospital visits for their cancer treatment, oral medications may sound like a great alternative. But, as the experts at Cancer Treatment Centers of America say, it may not be for every patient.
There are a variety of advantages and disadvantages of being responsible for self-administered cancer treatment. Learn more about what to know, and discuss, with your oncologist before deciding.
About Cancer Treatment Centers of America
Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) is a national network of five hospitals that serves adult patients who are fighting cancer. CTCA® offers an integrative approach to care designed to help patients physically and emotionally by enhancing their quality of life while managing side effects both during and after treatment.
