About the Day of Caring
It is a day when those concerned about breast cancer can come together for an educational experience where researchers, doctors and other experts lead workshops in topics of importance to breast cancer survivors, their friends, family, and treatment providers.
Included are seminars on nutrition, alternative therapies, the latest innovations in hormone, chemotherapy and surgical treatments, as well as help in living with cancer and the after-effects of treatment.
It’s not all serious, however. A wonderful gourmet lunch is served, and an exciting fashion show is presented as well. All of the models in the fashion show, both women and men, have had breast cancer.
The people who attend Day of Caring leave feeling empowered and inspired, knowing that there are resources in the community for them, and that they CAN handle it all.
Please email us directly at [email protected] and one of the Executive Board Members will be in touch with you soon.
