I Can Cope is an educational program for patients and their family and friends facing cancer. Living with cancer can be one of the greatest challenges a person can face in the course of a lifetime. I Can Cope offers help so that you can meet this challenge.

I Can Cope classes help dispel cancer myths by presenting straightforward facts and answers to your cancer-related questions about: 

 

  • Diagnosis and treatment
  • Side effects of treatment
  • Emotions and self-esteem
  • Cancer and intimacy
  • Communication skills
  • Community resources
  • Financial concerns
  • Pain management
  • Nutrition
  • Fatigue

 

Join us for our next I Can Cope Series on the following dates in the Cancer Institute 4th floor Conference Room.
