About this group
Thinking and memory difficulties are the second most common symptom of cancer patients after treatment. These symptoms persist for years after treatment. Symptoms can also interfere with everyday life and cause additional stress.
We are offering workshops designed to improve thinking and memory abilities in cancer survivors.
