Thoughtfully planning for themselves and their loved ones allows those impacted by cancer to create a sense of relief, and hope, around those unanswered questions. The Purpose in Planning Coping Circle Series will address these issues by providing both educational information on finances and planning as well as emotional guidance to people affected by cancer.
This event is presented in partnership with CancerCare and sponsored by Eisai.
