Staying healthy after cancer
Have you recently completed treatment for cancer (or care for someone who has)?
Is your cancer considered stable or in remission? Do you have a chronic form of cancer?


This free six week group program will help to
  • manage changes to your body
  • reduce feelings of anxiety, depression and fear
  • work more effectively with health care professionals
  • reconnect with life and get more out of living.
It covers
  • nutrition
  • exercise
  • relaxation techniques
  • fatigue
  • medications
  • difficult emotions
  • communication
  • problem solving and goal setting.
 This program is delivered by trained peer leaders.

If you would like to know more about becoming a leader for the program, contact Kathriye Strassnick on 8291 4158 or kstrassnick@cancersa.org.au

Health SA is trialling an online 6 week course Healthier Living with Ongoing Health Problems - including cancer. SA residents can take part in this study, via the Internet. The course is supported by trained staff, and is very similar to the Staying Healthy after Cancer course (which is described above). 
 
To find out more, or to enrol in the Program, go to https://sahealth.stanford.edu. If you have any questions about the trial you can contact the Stanford Online Team by emailing them at sahealth@med.stanford.edu.
