Cancer Support
Plans Fall Session
The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer
Institute, in collaboration with Rabbi
Michael Moskowitz at Temple Shir
Shalom, will offer a faith-based spiri-
tual support group for Jewish cancer
patients, survivors and their family
members.
The group will meet 7-8:30 p.m.
on nine Tuesdays, starting Oct. 23, at
Temple Shir Shalom.
Participants will:
• Explore how religious beliefs and
Jewish practices can help the patient
feel more in control of the cancer
experience
• Explore personal spirit-building
with hands-on experiences
• Identify tools within Judaism —
belief in God, prayer and ritual —
that can provide comfort, hope and
and help in reframing negative
thoughts
• Be supported by others living
through a similar experience
The group will be led by therapist
Brenda Beron and social worker
Patricia Milner Sachs, both cancer
survivors.
Sessions will also address uncertain-
ty, helplessness, lack of control, the
doctor-patient relationship, treatment
related concerns, self and body image,
the effect illness has on family,
reordering life and personal goals,
social relationships, and "Why me?"
To register, by Oct. 18, call Pat
Sachs at the Barbara Ann Karmanos
Cancer Institute, (800) KARNLANOS
or (248) 354-4188. There is no
charge.
