Living Well After Cancer seminars

Studies have shown that leading a healthy lifestyle can help reduce a person’s risk for developing cancer and decrease the chances of cancer recurrence. For cancer patients, staying active and eating healthy compliments the medical care they receive. Also, reducing stress through activities such as Yoga, Tai Chi and meditation can lift a patient’s spirit and help manage the anxiety that accompanies cancer.

Massey wants to help connect patients, survivors and anyone else affected by cancer with the resources they need to improve their well-being. Join our experts at the Science Museum of Virginia for a series of three seminars about six activities shown to benefit health. Participants will have a chance to talk with the experts and will receive a list of community resources available to support their efforts to lead a healthy lifestyle.
