“The side effects of chemotherapy and radiation vary with age, stage of cancer and treatment plan,” says Tammy. “We will provide in depth information on side effects, such as memory loss and heart disease, and how to better manage these conditions.”
Held monthly on the third Saturday, Caring Circle is led by experienced cancer care professionals from Saint Anthony’s Cancer Center of Excellence and offers women with cancer a chance to connect with other women about their experiences.
