Cancer, for increasing numbers has become a curable illness and for most, a controllable disease. However, it is becoming rapidly apparent that few of our modern therapies are benign. The chronic and late effects of cancer and its treatment can range from mild and transient problems, to serious and at times fatal conditions, and affect all aspects of function: physical, functional, emotional, social, and economic. Over the past decade, CancerCare, Inc. has pioneered educational teleconferences as a means of extending the capacity or ?reach? of efforts to communicate important health information. CancerCare?s Telephone Education Workshops have become a highly effective method through which to disseminate information about cancer to as broad an audience as possible ? immediately overcoming barriers created by distance, physical disability, and geographic isolation. The cancer care organization offers approximately 70 to 75 cancer-related educational teleconference programs each year. Based on its 15-year history of producing successful educational cancer-related teleconferences the proposed recipient of the award, CancerCare, initiated and produced the ?Cancer Survivorship: Living with, Through, and Beyond Cancer? teleconference series focused on post-treatment issues for cancer survivors and their families and caregivers. CancerCare, along with its partners, conducted the first three part series in spring of 2003 and two additional series in 2004 and 2005. Currently, CancerCare, is the exclusive coordinator of the CancerCare: Cancer survivorship teleconference series. In addition CancerCare?s mailing list, comprised of 15,000 names, represents one of the largest resources for providing outreach to cancer survivors and their families and healthcare professionals interested in education related to cancer survivorship.
