Welcome to Paradise on Palm Lane, where our island-themed FREE Homecoming Dance awaits teens ages 12 to 18 impacted by cancer! Dive into an evening of tropical delights with a dress or suit provided free of charge, free hair and makeup services to make you feel fabulous, a delicious catered dinner, and don't forget to snag your exclusive "swag bag" filled with goodies to make your night unforgettable. Get ready to dance the night away in paradise!

We know that being a teen impacted by cancer means you sometimes miss out on some of the fun events that make up these years. Maybe you even missed your own school's Homecoming. Let this be a night where you can put that aside and focus on making new friends and cherished memories as you eat, talk and dance the night away.

Our Homecoming Dance is open to teens who are cancer patients, survivors, or who have a parent or family member who is a cancer patient or survivor.

In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

CSCAZ participants are always looking for opportunities (excuses?!?) to hang out together and share a meal so we are making it an official CSCAZ program called Lunch Together.

Each Thursday at noon you can meet other CSCAZ participants at a designated Flagstaff location for lunch. This will be at your own expense and you will meet one another at the designated location. Would you like to bring a friend? You are welcome to invite one. Just be sure to always register at least 24 hours in advance so that the table(s) are large enough to fit everyone.

Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.

Taught by Sue Meyn, M C. She has presented to many organizations in Phoenix and now Flagstaff, and was a facilitator for groups at Cancer Support Community Arizona for seventeen years.

In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions, which will be held on Zoom, will be at 9:30 and 4:30 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate your day. Each day the movement will be a bit different so that we learn all sorts of different movement techniques to add to our daily movement quota.

We are pleased to announce a new movement program that our very own, Rachel Putman, will be leading immediately following Art/Clay.  

Rachel is excited to share what she's learned throughout her 30 plus years of studying karate and demonstrate why self-defense has statistically been shown to provide countless benefits to those that practice it.  

Below she has highlighted just a few examples:

• Kick starts your self-esteem
• Builds confidence
• Improves mental and emotional strength
• Develops body awareness
• Gives you the courage to overcome limits
• Boosts your physical health
• Helps you to become more assertive, but less hostile and aggressive
• Provides personal empowerment
• Decreases anxiety and makes you feel more effective as a person
• Enhances body positivity

Please come prepared wearing comfortable clothing and an open mind and heart.  We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.

In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions, which will be held on Zoom, will be at 9:30 and 4:30 pm.

In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.

Taught by Sue Meyn, M C. She has presented to many organizations in Phoenix and now Flagstaff, and was a facilitator for groups at Cancer Support Community Arizona for seventeen years.
