Successful Pink Ribbon Talks!

We had an amazing time at the 24th Annual Pink Ribbon Talks last Saturday (Oct 4th). Huge thank you to our survivor mentors, our awesome medical experts and all of the participants who came, brought joy and comfort to each other and kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Check out the coverage for our event from WXII-TV!

Breast cancer survivors have a social gathering with dinner on Tuesday October 21st! If you’re able to join, be sure to RSVP on the October events page!

Take Care of Your Heart!

Thrive Tip: There are certain cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiation to the chest, and even some targeted therapies, that can affect your heart even years after your last treatment. Because of this, it’s important to pay attention to how you can protect your heart after treatment. You may want to consider consulting a cardio-oncologist, especially if your doctor recommends it.

Check out this month’s Thrive article: How To Keep Your Heart Healthy After Cancer , brought to you by Dara Kurtz, cancer survivor and author.
