The Cancer Survivorship Group will meet at the Community Church Fireside Room on March 15 at 5 p.m. Our guest speaker, Dr. Vincent Shu, will discuss the role of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of Prostate Cancer. He says, “It is all about what you eat.” He will show science data that indicates how what you eat encourages or discourages the growth of cancer cells A diet that is similar to the Mediterranean Diet is one example. Dr. Shu will bring a dish representative of this food plan to show how delicious it is. Samples and a few recipes will be available for those who are interested.
We are a monthly, no cost, confidential support group for anyone touched by cancer whether personally, as a family member, friend, caregiver or in any other capacity. If you, or anyone you know, is dealing with issues related to cancer, please come and join the conversation. Finding out how others manage the special problems that cancer brings might help you find ways to cope with the problems that come along for you.
There will be an opportunity for everyone to share. Let’s support each other by finding courage for the journey, joy in the healing, and in hope for the future. Come join us at 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 15th. Call Bogdan at (760) 613-3101 for more information.
A big thank you to Dr. Vincent Shu for providing the Cancer Survivorship Meetings with invaluable knowledge about the role of the immune system in preventing or fighting cancer. If you have not met Dr. Shu, this meeting is the perfect time to do so.
