The Wellness Community (TWC) is a
national nonprofit organization that provides support,
education and hope to people with cancer and their loved
ones. Through participation in professionally led support
groups, educational workshops and mind/body classes utilizing
the “Patient Active” concept, people affected
by cancer learn vital skills that enable them to regain
control, reduce isolation and restore hope regardless of the
stage of disease. Most importantly, TWC provides a home-like
setting for people fighting cancer to connect with and learn
from each other.

Body Image and Cancer
Cancer and cancer treatment can change your
body. Changes in how your body looks, feels, and
performs can affect your body image—how you
perceive your body and feel about your appearance.
Not all cancer treatments cause physical changes. Some do, and these changes may be temporary or
permanent. Common physical changes associated
with cancer and cancer treatment may include:
scars from surgery or loss of a body part, hair loss
from radiation therapy or chemotherapy, weight
changes, weakness or loss of stamina, decrease in
physical skills (athletic capabilities, balance, and
agility), skin changes, swelling of the face, arms,
or leg, changes in your sexual or reproductive
functioning. To read more about body image changes,
continue inside under “Featured Programs for
October and November” in the Calendar section. |
