Sleep, Fatigue and Circadian Rhythms in Cancer: Their effect on quality of life
2023-03-01 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom
Sleep disturbances and fatigue are both very common in cancer and get worse during chemotherapy. These symptoms can last for years after the end of treatment. Cancer patients get very little bright light exposure during cancer treatment which is related to increased fatigue and poor sleep. New research suggests that increased bright light exposure helps fatigue, sleep, depression and biological rhythms. This non-invasive treatment has the potential for improving quality of life in cancer patients. Join our webinar and learn more about what this means for you. Featuring Sonia Ancoli-Israel, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus and Professor of Research, Department of Psychiatry and the Center of Circadian Biology, UCSD School of Medicine.

Bonus for our Embrace Community: We invite members of our Embrace community, those facing metastatic breast or advanced ovarian cancer, to stay on at the end of the webinar for an intimate breakout session with Dr. Anocoli-Israel and conversation with Bonnie Bekoff, Director of Support Services.

Life, Love and the BRCA Mutation
2023-05-23 12:00 - 12:45 (America/Los_Angeles)
Celebrate Women’s Healthcare Month with Jessica Queller as she sits down with Rabbi Sherre Hirsch and shares her journey of inheriting the BRCA1 mutation and how it changed her life forever.

Register for the webinar at this link.

Eleven months after her mother succumbs to cancer, Jessica Queller has herself tested for the BRCA gene mutation. The results come back positive, putting her at a terrifyingly elevated risk of developing breast cancer before the age of 50 and ovarian cancer in her lifetime. Thirty-four, unattached, and yearning for marriage and a family of her own, Queller faces an agonizing choice: a lifetime of vigilant screenings and a commitment to fight the disease when caught, or its radical alternative—a prophylactic double mastectomy that would effectively restore life to her, even as it would challenge her most closely held beliefs about body image, identity, and sexuality. In conversation with AJUs Catherine Schneider and Sharsheret’s Jenna Fields, Jessica offers insights from her journey and shares helpful tools on how to educate yourself, get tested, and share this lifesaving information with your loved ones.
One in 40 Ashkenazi Jews – both men and women – carries a BRCA gene mutation, nearly 10 times the rate of the general population, making Jewish families significantly more susceptible to hereditary breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Recent studies show that Sephardic Jews may also be genetically predisposed to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. If you or someone in your family has tested BRCA+, whether you have been diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer, Sharsheret can help.
This program is delivered in partnership with American Jewish University and Sharsheret.

Narrative Storytelling for Cancer Thrivers
2023-05-23 19:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Zoom
After a cancer diagnosis, people navigate both hard-fought victories and stories of pain and loss in their journeys.

Join Sharsheret and Kathy Riley, Cancer Support Community’s Associate Director of Programs, who is herself a long-time pediatric oncology caregiver and advocate, for a 60- minute Narrative Medicine workshop. Engaging in this Narrative Storytelling exercise may help you connect more deeply to your own story and the stories of others on a similar path.

The first 35 registrants located in the Los Angeles area will receive a free kit in the mail. Limited supplies available.

This program is for adults in treatment, survivorship, or those at increased risk.
