Screening and Prevention – Empowering through Education

Posted on January 20, 2014 by admin


VIEW THE PRESENTATION

Presentation Description: 
Do you show up at your screening appointments wondering why you’re even there? Or maybe you haven’t gone at all and are worried you missed the memo? Screening and prevention can be a tricky subject because there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ standard. This presentation provides an overview of exactly what screening is, why it’s important, who is at risk for what, and what you need to know to responsibly manage your health for years to come.

 

 

Speaker:
Paul Nathan, MD, MSc, FRCPC
Director, AfterCare Program
Hospital for Sick Children

Healing Beyond the Body: Emotional Health After Cancer

Posted on January 20, 2014 by admin


VIEW THE PRESENTATION

Presentation Description:
Childhood cancer can be an intensely stressful experience that may have emotional effects even years after treatment. While cancer can enhance personal growth in some ways, it can also lead to emotional vulnerabilities later in life.   This session will explore common developmental challenges for survivors, highlight the relationship between emotional and physical health, and consider the different ways survivors make sense of their cancer experiences as they move into adulthood.

Director of Research and Support Services

Assistant Professor of Pediatrics

Workshop C – ‘How did you get that scar?’… and other Socially Uncomfortable Moments of Being a Cancer Survivor

Posted on January 15, 2014 by admin


VIEW THE PRESENTATION

Presentation Description: 
So you’ve survived childhood cancer and you have some of the cold hard facts from doctors about what may be next for your health. But what about those socially awkward conversations and situations you may encounter as a survivor that aren’t in the medical books? Lead by two childhood cancer survivors, this workshop explored those socially awkward, embarrassing, difficult and sometimes funny questions and conversations, from responding to “How’d you get that scar?” to telling a new dating partner about your unknown fertility status.
