Cancer Support
Group Meets
The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer
Institute, in collaboration with Rabbi
Charles Popky of Congregation Beth
Ahm, announces the spring session of
its faith-based spiritual support group
for Jewish cancer patients, survivors
and family members.
The group will meet 7-8:30 p.m.
Tuesday evenings at the institute's
Oakland Regional Office in
Southfield for 10 weeks beginning
April 16. During the course of the
group, participant& will:
• Explore how religious beliefs and
Jewish practices can be used as strategies
to help patients feel more in control of
the cancer experience;
• Explore personal spirit-building with
hands-on experiences;
• Identify the tools available within
Judaism — such as one's belief in God,
prayer and ritual — that can provide
comfort, hope and coping and reframe
negative thoughts into positive ones;
• Be supported by others living
through a similar experience.
Therapist Brenda Beron and social
worker Patricia Milner Sachs, both can-
cer survivors, will lead the group.
Sessions will also address topics such as
uncertainty, helplessness, lack of control,
the doctor-patient relationship, treat-
ment related concerns, self and body
image, the effect illness has on family,
reordering life and personal goals, social
relationships, and "Why me?"
To register, call Pat Sachs by Apr. 11 at
1-800-KARMANOS or at (248) 354-
4188. There is no charge.
