I Can Cope
I Can Cope is an educational program for people facing cancer—either personally, or as a friend or family caregiver. Living with cancer can be one of the greatest challenges a person can face in the course of a lifetime. I Can Cope offers help so that you can meet this challenge.
Knowledge is power, and the more you know about what is happening during cancer diagnosis and treatment, the better equipped you will be to handle each step of the journey.
I Can Cope classes help dispel cancer myths by presenting straightforward facts and answers to your cancer-related questions about:
Diagnosis and treatment
Side effects of treatment
Emotions and self-esteem
Cancer and intimacy
Communication skills
Community resources
Financial concerns
Pain management
Nutrition
Fatigue
Community Classes
I Can Cope classes are available in Los Alamos at the Los Alamos Medical Center. Mike Karns, oncology nurse, facilitates the classes together with invited speakers.
