We all know the importance of cancer research and medical treatment. However, those living with cancer know that the steps to recovery, the mindset of living well, and the hope of living longer with cancer, all require support and resources beyond the medical umbrella. They need help right now.
More than one in two patients with cancer report they have symptoms causing distress during treatment. Of these: 45% experience depression and 56% experience anxiety. 1
Wellspring is amazing! When I went to Wellspring, I could breathe.
I could take a step back from it all and choose to learn new things. I have learned so many things about myself that I never would have known if it weren’t for Wellspring. I learned to play ukulele, to sing and to dance. I learned yoga and tai chi, and I discovered art.
When you have cancer in your life, it can take over; your life becomes all about going for treatments and waiting for results. One way for me to cope was to bring some normalcy back to my life. For me, that meant being busy and believe me, Wellspring kept me busy! When I was well enough, I always had somewhere to go — a calendar full of Wellspring programs. This helped me greatly. Even at my worst, I still had some things I could choose in my life and that felt normal and meaningful to me.
