But we know that the reality is far more complex. As family members, friends, and health professionals seek to support men living with cancer there is value in stepping away from our well-trodden assumptions. By listening to what men have to say we are in a better position to provide relevant supports that meet men where they are, building on capacities and assisting with challenges. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:.1pt;margin-right:21.25pt;margin-bottom:.1pt;margin-left:21.3pt;mso-margin-top-alt:.01gd;mso-para-margin-right:21.25pt;mso-para-margin-bottom:.01gd;mso-para-margin-left:21.3pt'><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:.1pt;margin-right:21.25pt;margin-bottom:.1pt;margin-left:21.3pt;mso-margin-top-alt:.01gd;mso-para-margin-right:21.25pt;mso-para-margin-bottom:.01gd;mso-para-margin-left:21.3pt'><span style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans"'>This presentation focuses on the results of a study examining how 30 men with a variety of cancer types perceived their illness and responded to the physical, mental, emotional, and relational challenges of a life disrupted by cancer. Findings detail how men drew on their own resources and how they obtained support from health providers, family and friends, and peers with cancer. These patterns are considered in relation to powerful gendered messages in our society that encourage men to be strong, independent, and controlled. Insights and implications for men with cancer and their support persons will be addressed and there will be opportunity to discuss the findings.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-top:6.0pt;text-align:center'><span style='font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans"'>Wednesday July 25, 2012, </span><span style='font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-top:6.0pt;text-align:center'><span style='font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans"'>6:00-7:30 pm<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans"'>Central Location<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans"'>All welcomed.</span></b><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans"'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:#1F497D'>Lorraine Prus</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Handwriting";color:#1F497D'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Director of Programs<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'>HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'>16 Andrew Street, Suite 2<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'>Kitchener, ON<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'>N2H 5R2<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'>519.742.HOPE (4673) ext.103<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'>F: 519.742.7154<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'>www.hopespring.ca <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Charitable #89894 3857 0001<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Bright","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt;color:red'>The information in this e-mail or in any attachments to this e-mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
