Whether it is weight loss -- or weight gain - or side effects of treatment that interfere with eating, most of us have had to cope with at least a few nutritional concerns during cancer treatment.
So wouldn't it be great if a panel of experts in oncology and nutrition came to your home to share their tips?
Guess what? That can happen and it won't cost a dime. CancerCare is offering a free telephone workshop titled "Nutrition, Physical Activity and You: A Guide for People Living With Cancer." You can listen to the workshop on your computer or telephone without traveling beyond your favorite chair.
The date: - Tuesday, November 15, 2011
The time: - 1:30 - 2:30 PM Eastern Time

A few of the topics that will be covered include:
- An Overview of Cancer Related Weight Changes

But what if you are busy on November 15th? You will be able to listen to this program, and can also listen to previous workshops, by logging on to the CancerCare Workshop Podcasts, or by calling 1-888-337-7533 any time on any day of the week.
