What does
cancer support
mean to you?
From: Natalie O’Roark, Texas Oncology Foundation Executive Director
What does ‘Cancer Support’ mean for you…?
For everyone it’s different…
For some of you, you’re really going through difficult times, and you’re feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainty and complexities of Covid-19.
You may be a cancer survivor on the other side of treatment… but life just isn’t the same, and you’re not sure why.
And for others of you, you’re looking to find and connect with a community of people who ‘get’ what you’re going through, you just aren’t sure where to begin.
Wherever you find yourself in this journey, I want you to know that you’re supported!
That’s why – for the first time ever – the Texas Oncology Foundation is bringing back some of our favorite Survive & Thrive professionals, experts and workshops for a 4-week ‘Virtual Experience’ that will help cancer survivors and caregivers during difficult times.
And if you’re a cancer patient, survivor or caregiver, YOU’RE INVITED to be a part of it! 
Before I share MY GOAL for this ‘virtual experience’ for YOU… let me ask you a few questions…
Would you check YES to any of these questions?
- Do you want to meet other people who understand what you’re going through, but you have NO IDEA where to start?
- Are you on the backend of treatment, but for some reason you're feeling stuck or like things just aren't the same?
- Do you want live, direct access to cancer experts who can guide you through evidence-based tools to make life after cancer easier?
- Are you a cancer caregiver who wants to feel more supported, but is unsure how to do that without feeling guilty?
- Do you want to use your cancer diagnosis to grow as a person and make a positive difference to the people who come behind you?!
If You Checked Yes To ANY Of The Boxes Above, Then I Want To Personally Invite You To The Texas Oncology Foundation 'Survive And Thrive Virtual Experience!'
Here Is How The 4-Week Virtual Experience Works...
You’ll get access to 4 exclusive, live webinars from some of your favorite Survive & Thrive guest speakers who will help you:
- Manage fear and anxiety during and after treatment
- Use nutrition to support your immune system and fight disease
- Find peace, love and comfort during your most challenging times
- Nurture relationships with rich, meaningful communication
You’ll get up to 4 live workshops that will help you…
- …melt away stress and reboot your mind
- …feel physically and mentally stronger and more energetic
- …create disease-fighting meals that will nourish your body
- …feel good and boost your confidence
You’ll also get access to an exclusive Facebook group where you can meet and interact with other participants like you. In this group, we’ll offer online support led by some of our amazing oncology licensed social workers, Q&A sessions with oncology professionals and a supportive community!
The Virtual Experience costs $25 for the first 50 people who sign up...
This fee covers the program materials that we will be shipping you to use during our 4 weeks together (more on what’s inside below).
This small $25 investment also demonstrates your commitment to the incredible speakers, workshops and community who will be a part of this experience with you.
There's only one catch. Not everyone can join...
Because this is our first ever virtual experience, we are limiting the number of people who can sign up to the first 50.
An intimate group means a better experience for everyone. Our professionals are able to give direct, personalized support to everyone who participates.
So if you think this 4-week experience will benefit you, don’t wait! Sign up today. Only the first 50 people who sign up will get in. Then, we will close down registration for 2020.
