Preparing for Surprises
Wednesday, March 30, 6:30 - 8:00 pm
Being a cancer patient or supporting a
cancer patient is a difficult job even when
things are going smoothly. When things go
wrong and surprises happen, often plans
go out the window. In this session, we will
discuss ways to plan for the unexpected
during cancer treatments. From finding the
right doctors to negotiating severe outcomes,
this talk will be an introduction to thinking
about what could happen before it sneaks
up on you. Speaker: Dr. Philip Grieshaber
