Cancer Survivorship 101: Common Endocrinology Issues Among Cancer Survivors

"Common Endocrinology Issues Among Cancer Survivors", with Ole-Petter R. Hamnvik, MB, BCh, BAO, MMSc, MRCPI
Due to the quarantine, we had to cancel our annual in-person Cancer Survivorship 101 event that was planned for June, 2020. Instead, we created a series of video lectures presented here on our website and our KZbin page featuring the speakers that were to be highlighted at the event.

Survivor Journeys has been a non-profit organization since March, 2015. Its origins, began during the year-long medical quarantine Dr Jay Burton lived through after his stem cell transplant for Acute Myeloid Leukemia which ended in late October 2011. Dr Burton’s emotional and social support experiences prompted speaking engagements about cancer survivorship. The community interest generated from these talks, as well as the lack of emotional and support services for cancer survivors in our region, led to the creation of Survivor Journeys.
