Introducing a brand new workshop at HopeSpring -  Chemo Brain: The Impact of Cancer Treatments on Memory, Thinking, and Attention!

Make sure you attend this workshop if you have chemo brain or brain fog!

This workshop will provide an understanding of what Chemo Brain is (i.e., regarding verbal or visual memory, problems with attention and concentration, as well as its affects on how one processes information), why cancer patients suffer from memory problems related to chemotherapy, and strategies for managing and improving memory problems during and after cancer treatment.

This workshop takes place on Wednesday, August 5, 12, or 19 from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. via Zoom. You only need to attend 1 session. To register, please visit  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=aee8446be9&e=ece80c31c3> Chemo Brain Registration.

The Exercise Oncology Lab (PI: Dr. Linda Trinh) is looking for cancer survivors to complete an online survey about their experiences with physical activity and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anyone who completes the study will be eligible to enter into a drawing to win 1 of 6 $25 CAD gift cards to Amazon.
