Living Fully With and Beyond Cancer is a three-day conference held each year for cancer patients, family members and caregivers. During the conference, there will be six wellness workshops, 28 sessions on specific cancer topics, two patient-caregiver couples sharing their experiences and a medical panel who will discuss the latest cancer research. All cancer survivors and caregivers are invited to attend, regardless of where they received cancer treatments. This year, for the 18th Living Fully With and Beyond Cancer Conference, Sex and the City television actor Evan Handler, an acute leukemia cancer survivor, will be the opening keynote speaker. When Handler was diagnosed with cancer 20 years ago, it was considered incurable. He became a cancer survivor and author of Time on Fire: My Comedy of Terrors.
Leslie Mouton, breast cancer survivor and news anchor and reporter at KSAT-12 in San Antonio, Texas, will also the closing speaker. She will open the Beth Sanders Moore Workshop for Young Breast Cancer Survivors.
The theme of this year's conference is Let the Sun Shine In. The conference takes place from September 7-9, 2006, at the Houston Marriott Westchase in Houston, Texas. Attendance is limited and scholarships are available. For detailed information about the conference, visit the Living Fully With and Beyond Cancer Conference website.
