Purple House Cancer Support Centre on the Quinsborough Road in Bray will be running the Stanford Cancer Thriving & Surviving Programme starting on February 24th, and running every Tuesday for 6 weeks, 2pm to 4.30pm.

This is a self management programme for cancer survivors (minimum 3 months post-treatment) with the aim of improving your quality of life to better manage your daily health.

The programme was developed by Stanford University and will be facilitated in Purple House by one of our professional counsellors and a volunteer who has personal experience of cancer.

The topics on the course include:
⦿ Techniques to deal with problems such as frustration, fatigue, pain & isolation & poor sleep
⦿ Living with uncertainty
⦿ Exercises for maintaining & improving strength, flexibility & endurance
⦿ Making decisions about treatment and complimentary therapies.
⦿ Communicating effectively with family, friends, & health professionals
⦿ Nutrition & healthy eating

It can be very helpful for clients, post treatment to meet and learn along with fellow cancer survivors how best to look after themselves following a difficult time.
