A CANCER RECOVERY PROGRAM
Managing Cancer & Edema
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, then you know that not all people with cancer experience pain and not all cancers produce pain equally. Pain can have terrible side effects on one's quality of life and ability to function. It can lead to depression, irritability, social withdrawal, anger, loss of sleep, appetite. Pain may be acute or chronic. We are hopeful that Simple Pink Cancer Recovery Program can be the breakthrough that you may be looking for! I personally, Cathy Sunderlin, Executive Director have committed to myself, a three-time cancer survivor, wife, mother, grandmother, massage therapist, cancer exercise specialist, to provide and share with you information to help you maintain the quality of life that suits you!
The benefits of the Simple Pink Cancer Recovery Program and how cancer patients/survivors will benefit from participating in such a program are listed below.
