“The first ever Survivor Camp is all about embracing the new norm that any cancer diagnosis forces on survivors. Our goal at this conference is to give survivors the information and tools they need to have the highest quality of life during and after cancer,” said Sue Armato, Executive Director of The Cancer Support Center.
“With recognized medical speakers and others at this free event, we look forward to having survivors from throughout Chicagoland come and learn how to move forward, away from pain and hurt. Planned by our very own survivors at The Center, you can bet that the topics will be relevant and impactful.”
This event is entirely free and is open to anyone who has battled or is currently battling cancer. Caregivers are welcome to join and take part in the sessions as well. To register for the conference, please visit http://cancersupportcenter.org/programs-activities/conference-registration/.
