INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana – Treating cancer can be
a rocky ride of radiation treatments, chemotherapy and surgeries. And returning
to a normal life after the battle presents other challenges.

Beyond, a cancer survivorship program. It blends a unique and holistic
approach, combining physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health components
for survivors, loved ones and caregivers.

and continuing throughout the year. They will be held in the Cancer Center’s
