The second annual Survive & Thrive Symposium in Austin on Saturday, March 2, was a wonderful day! Keynote speaker, Lillie Shockney, started us off sharing her own story and how humor has been a key tool throughout her journey. Additional experts covered a variety of topics including fear of recurrence, nutrition, late & long-term effects, caregiving, intimacy after cancer and telling your story. Local yoga studio, GOGA, got attendees moving during goat yoga sessions! Then in the afternoon participants engaged in an art therapy directive to outwardly express their cancer journey.
