"I think those who attend may be pleasantly surprised to discover that there may be more to spirituality and healing than meets the eye,” says Lea. “There is something for everyone no matter what their foundation of faith may be."
Held monthly on the third Saturday, Caring Circle is led by experienced cancer care professionals from OSF Saint Anthony’s Cancer Center of Excellence and offers women with cancer a chance to connect with other women about their experiences.
In addition, the group will be starting a new book club. The first book selected is “Lessons From the School of Suffering” by Rev. Jim Willig and Tammy Bundy.
Tracy Phillips, patient navigator for breast health, facilitates the group. “We wanted to do something this year so we are starting a book club. The book selections will be centered on helping women with their fight against cancer,” she says.
