The Art of Living L IF E B E YO N D C ANCE R Keynote Speakers Opening Keynote: 8:45AM A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to Chemotherapy In this sometimes moving, sometimes laugh-out-loud adventure through one man s experience with multiple relapses, Dr. Dan Shapiro invites us to consider how we approach our medical teams, how we interact with other patients and our guiding priorities. Dan Shapiro, PhD Garner James Kline Professor of Humanities in Medicine and the Chair of the Department of Humanities at Penn State College of Medicine Lunch Keynote: 12:30 PM Living Well After Cancer Many people experience significant physical and emotional challenges after completing treatment for cancer. Common themes and suggested strategies will be addressed to craft a considered and joyful life. Hester Hill Schnipper, LICSW, BCD, OSW-C Chief of Oncology Social Work at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and adjunct Professor at Simmons College of Social Work Workshops I: 9:45AM 11:00AM A Fitness Plan for Cancer Survivors Research reveals that regular exercise can reduce the risk of cancer and extend your life. A regular exercise program can help you recover your energy, endurance, strength and flexibility after cancer treatments.

2 Couples Surviving Cancer (and after) Together: A Seriously Funny Look at Couples Between ages 20 and 25, Dan Shapiro, a clinical health psychologist was treated for cancer (advanced Hodgkin s Disease). During that period, he married a nurse practitioner. Some years later, his wife developed breast cancer and required chemotherapy, surgeries, and radiation. As a result, he experienced both sides of the cancer bed. After serving as a therapist for couples facing cancer, he interviewed 40 couples from around the country about their experiences when one of them had cancer and later wrote a book, And in health, which was featured in the New York Times in May of 2013 and won a National Book Award from the Independent Book Sellers of America (gold medal) in May of This sometimes funny, sometimes serious talk explores the myriad of issues facing couples after a cancer diagnosis. Much of the talk will also be relevant for caregivers. Dan Shapiro, PhD Garner James Kline Professor of Humanities in Medicine and the Chair of the Department of Humanities at Penn State College of Medicine Life After Cancer: Mind/Body Self-Care Skills to Maximize Your Health To survivors of cancer, health is not simply the absence of illness. Survivors face all sorts of physical, psychological, social behavioral and spiritual challenges. It can be difficult to maintain optimism and resiliency. In this workshop, you will practice numerous mind/body self-care techniques that will enable you to live more fully and take a more active role in maximizing your health. Included are relaxation techniques, mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, resiliency and gratitude. You will also understand the link between stress and health and recognize your stress warning signs. Ann Webster, PhD Massachusetts General Hospital The Cost of Cancer: Exploring the Financial Concerns of Diagnosis for Survivors and Caregivers This seminar will discuss the financial ramifications of cancer and address common concerns of survivors and caregivers. The topics covered will be employment discrimination, continuing care, disability, insurability, credit and debt. Curt Balch Survivor and Financial Planner Staying Connected During and After Cancer Treatment Cancer can make you feel like you re living on a planet all on your own. While friends and family members love you and want to support you, they often don t know what to say or do, which can leave you feeling disconnected and disappointed. Join us with a panel and open discussion about the challenges of maintain relationships and learn some new strategies for staying connected, reconnecting or deciding to disconnect during and after cancer treatment. Tara Shuman Linda Maerov, LICSW and Samantha Watson Survivor and Executive Director of The SAMFund

(Reminder: Survival begins at diagnosis and includes caregiving, too!) George Kansas Author and Survivor The Caregiver s Journey This workshop will focus on the day-to-day realities of being a caregiver for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. It may be a spouse, partner, sibling, adult-child, parent of friend who has been diagnosed and the role of caregiver is new and unfamiliar.

Stacy Kennedy, MPH, RD, CSO, LON Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Russell Kennedy, PsyD, MA Wellness Guides Journaling Towards Wellness Nothing can arouse stronger feelings in any of us than being told You have cancer. There is considerable research suggesting that journaling 3-4 times a week for up to six weeks about things that bother you can actually improve our immune system and reduce your stress.

In this program you ll joyfully learn how to share your story with confidence and impact and serve the people your story is meant to help! George Kansas Author and Survivor and Tracey Trottenberg, Leadership Expert
5 Caregivers: In Their Own Words A panel of caregivers will present what the experience of caring for someone diagnosed with cancer has been like for them. While everyone s situation is unique there are many commonalities and hearing the stories of others who have traveled or are traveling this road can be useful in a number of ways. The panel will be comprised of a male and female spouse or partner, a sibling, an adult-child caring for a diagnosed parent and/or a parent caring for an adult-child with cancer. This will be an interactive presentation with time for discussion and questions. Tim Cummings, MSW, LECSW Program Director, Cancer Support Community - Massachusetts South Shore and Cynthia Medeiros, MSW, LICSW Atlantic Counseling Taking Control Again: Managing the Emotional Impact of Cancer A diagnosis of cancer unleashes a cascade of emotions that ebb and flow long after treatment ends. The end of treatment can mark a new beginning in our attitude towards life, ourselves and those around us. At times our new sense of the world brings joy and inspires us, and at times it saddens us and fills us with fear. Managing the ups and downs of the emotional aftermath of cancer is an important skill in the quest for well-being. In this workshop we will review the normal emotional consequences of a cancer experience. We will then explore the many tools available both within ourselves and in the community that can not only help in the management of this new collage of emotions, but can help harness them in the service of living a fuller, more authentic life.
