There was a full house at Eldercare’s recent panel discussion on Healthy Aging with Cancer hosted in partnership UBC’s School of Nursing and BC Cancer. More than 60 people turned up to hear from speakers who shared their research and recommendations on cancer prevention and maintaining wellbeing as you age and during cancer treatment. Dr. Enrique Soto Pérez de Celis, a globally recognized geriatric oncologist visiting from the University of Colorado Cancer Center, delivered a powerful closing session on cancer survivorship and resilience.
