This group offers a supportive, low-pressure space for connection, conversation, and shared understanding. There is no expectation to speak or share beyond what feels comfortable. Whether you come to listen, learn, or connect, you’re welcome.

Join us Thursday, April 16, at 10:30 a.m. in The Cat Café at Sunflower Pet Supply, located at 3236 Kimball Ave., Manhattan, Kan. No registration required.

Understand & Empower: Monthly Cancer Education

"Understand the System: Bone Health"
Thursday, April 28, at 6 p.m. / Auditorium at Manhattan Public Library, 629 Poyntz Ave., Manhattan, Kan.

Cancer treatment, early menopause, and changes in activity levels can all impact bone health — often faster than we expect. In this foundational session, Stephanie will help us understand how accelerated aging, osteoporosis, and joint health concerns intersect with cancer survivorship. Understanding what’s happening inside the body is the first step toward building confidence and protecting long-term health. Presented by Stephanie Johnson, P.T., Oncology Rehabilitation.
