A supportive, expert-led workshop designed for people living with cancer in all stages, as well as survivors and caregivers. Drawing from her research in longevity and her lived experience as a cancer survivor, Donatella offers a gentle, non-prescriptive introduction to seven pillars that support physical, emotional, and social well-being during and after treatment.
This presentation will provide a simple overview of CAR-T therapy, a personalized immunotherapy used for certain blood cancers, and being studied for other cancers too. Led by a registered nurse and cell therapy educator from Legend Biotech, this non-branded, patient-focused talk will explain what CAR-T therapy is, when it may be used, how it works, what to expect during treatment, how side effects are managed, and the important role of care partners.
The talk will end with a helpful Q&A and group discussion.
Dr. Anna Maria Izquierdo-Porrera, MD, PhD, will join us for a thoughtful conversation about finding comfort and meaning at the end of life, and how to navigate difficult but important discussions. This will be an open and supportive discussion. We hope you’ll join us for these meaningful (and not always heavy) conversations.
