Keep On Dancing 2014 - Cancer Survivorship Conference 

Now more than any other time in our history, cancer survivors are living well-beyond their diagnosis. The Keep On Dancing Cancer Survivorship conference features multi-track workshops that teach survivors how to get back to the business of living life after cancer.

Now in its sixth year, the annual Keep on Dancing Cancer Survivorship Conference, as the name suggests, empowers survivors and their network with tools to support them as they thrive beyond the cancer diagnosis.  The Rio Grande Cancer Foundation is proud to offer this informative and entertaining event which approaches the cancer experience from a holistic approach to healing.  Our participants learn not only about medicine and clinical care issues, but about emotional and spiritual therapy, too.   It is widely known that patients who keep informed about their disease have more sense of control and are empowered to make better decisions.

There are over 13 million people in the United States living beyond cancer.  Because of greater awareness, early detection and advances in cancer treatment, survival rates are on the rise and the message to cancer patients is one of hope.

This year’s program will include sessions designed to help you fully live and love your life beyond cancer. We hope you will join us and keep fighting, keep positive, and keep on!
