Join Cancer Support Community Arizona for a fun and educational field trip to the Arizona Science Center, right in the heart of downtown Phoenix!

Everyone is welcome!

Whether you’re coming with friends, family, or on your own, this event promises engaging activities for all ages. Come escape the summer heat and dive into science with us!

Registration required. Don’t miss out—spaces are limited to the first 38 people! Car pooling available from CSCAZ with notice.

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 are held on Zoom at 4:00 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.

The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, or Forest Bathing, is good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness.

Let's support one another by introducing a healthy lifestyle choice to our Wednesdays and practice forest bathing by walking together from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm in gorgeous Flagstaff, AZ. Please ALWAYS register in advance so we know you are coming. Forest Bathing starts at noon at CSCAZ northern Arizona, 914 N. San Francisco Street, weather permitting, each Wednesday throughout the spring and summer. If we have inclement weather on Wednesday, that day will magically morph into expressive arts.

The group will depart from CSCAZ at 9:30 am and everyone is invited to bring snacks and/or lunch, water, sunscreen, a hat, and walking poles.

• June 25 Forest Trail via Griffith Springs
• July 2 Veit Springs

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.

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.

Se puede definir el estrés como un estado de preocupación o tensión mental generado por una situación difícil. Todas las personas tenemos un cierto grado de estrés, ya que se trata de una respuesta natural a las amenazas y a otros estímulos. Es la forma en que reaccionamos al estrés lo que marca el modo en que afecta a nuestro bienestar.

El estrés afecta tanto a la mente como al cuerpo. Es positivo tener un poco, pues nos ayuda a realizar las actividades diarias, pero cuando el estrés pasa a ser excesivo tiene consecuencias físicas y psíquicas. Sin embargo, podemos aprender a lidiar con él para sentirnos menos abrumados y mejorar nuestro bienestar físico y mental.

Yoga practices can provide many benefits for those impacted by cancer from improving overall health to improving quality of life. Yoga helps with stress and anxiety, pain, sleep immune system regulation, appetite and physical function.

Stress and Anxiety: Yoga can help cancer patients relax and cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also lower heart rate and blood pressure.

Pain: Yoga can help reduce sensitivity to pain.

Sleep: Yoga can help improve quality of sleep and improve Circadian rhythm.

Immune System: Yoga can help boost the immune system and some studies have found consistent yoga during treatment reduces growth of tumors.

Appetite: Yoga can help increase appetite, loss of appetite is a common side effect of some cancer treatments.

Physical Function: Yoga can help improve physical function, including flexibility and balance, and reduce risk of falls. It can also help cancer patients move around more easily after surgery.

Join certified instructor Liz Springborn for yoga each Tuesday morning at the Northern Arizona Flagstaff CSCAZ location. Liz is a registered nurse serving in oncology and bone marrow transplant when she was a bedside nurse. She started yoga for her own health and wellbeing. She loves learning and completed a yoga teacher training and enjoys teaching many styles of yoga.

This class is specifically designed for those impacted by cancer.  You are welcome to bring your own yoga equipment or utilize what we have at CSCAZ.

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!

Twenty-two years later, we still operate under the same guiding principles, but we’ve surely grown! The M3F Fund exists as a year-round venture, using our platform and resources to try and make the world a better place.

The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, or Forest Bathing, is good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness.

Let's support one another by introducing a healthy lifestyle choice to our Wednesdays and practice forest bathing by walking together from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm in gorgeous Flagstaff, AZ. Please ALWAYS register in advance so we know you are coming. Forest Bathing starts at noon at CSCAZ northern Arizona, 914 N. San Francisco Street, weather permitting, each Wednesday throughout the spring and summer. If we have inclement weather on Wednesday, that day will magically morph into expressive arts.

Yoga practices can provide many benefits for those impacted by cancer from improving overall health to improving quality of life. Yoga helps with stress and anxiety, pain, sleep immune system regulation, appetite and physical function.

Stress and Anxiety: Yoga can help cancer patients relax and cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also lower heart rate and blood pressure.

Pain: Yoga can help reduce sensitivity to pain.

Sleep: Yoga can help improve quality of sleep and improve Circadian rhythm.

Immune System: Yoga can help boost the immune system and some studies have found consistent yoga during treatment reduces growth of tumors.

Appetite: Yoga can help increase appetite, loss of appetite is a common side effect of some cancer treatments.

Physical Function: Yoga can help improve physical function, including flexibility and balance, and reduce risk of falls. It can also help cancer patients move around more easily after surgery.

The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, or Forest Bathing, is good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness.

Let's support one another by introducing a healthy lifestyle choice to our Wednesdays and practice forest bathing by walking together from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm in gorgeous Flagstaff, AZ. Please ALWAYS register in advance so we know you are coming. Forest Bathing starts at noon at CSCAZ northern Arizona, 914 N. San Francisco Street, weather permitting, each Wednesday throughout the spring and summer. If we have inclement weather on Wednesday, that day will magically morph into expressive arts.

The group will depart from CSCAZ at 9:30 am and everyone is invited to bring snacks and/or lunch, water, sunscreen, a hat, and walking poles.

Upcoming destinations include:

• June 25 Forest Trail via Griffith Springs
• July 2 Veit Springs
• July 9 Kendrick Watchable Wildlife
• July 16 Sandy's Canyon
• July 23 Pumphouse Wash
• July 30 Bismarck Lake Trail

Led by a licensed clinician, this group is focused on increasing hope, empowerment, and community.

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 or caregivers dealing with a cancer experience. 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 are held on Zoom at 4:00 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.
