If you are a female cancer survivor who has completed cancer treatment, Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak wants you to participate in its new eight-week Silver Linings wellness program.

Interested participants must attend a required information and registration session on June 21 and sessions begin July 12 at 6:30 p.m. Participants must be at least 18 years old.

According to a Beaumont press release, the program "is designed for women who have survived any type of cancer and includes meditation, yoga, breast awareness/self-exam, mindful listening and expressive writing. The program aims to help cancer survivors explore and heal the physical, emotional and spiritual effects of the disease."

“Our research has shown that participants experience improved quality of life, decreased symptoms of stress and decreased psychological symptoms," Silver Linings Medical Director Dr. Ruth Lerman said. "It may even improve the thinking and memory problems known as chemo brain.”
