I am currently waiting for my volunteer coordinator to get back to me with options for volunteer work that would benefit my senior project.
(2) What is a recent piece of research (article, interview, or audio-visual) that have you reviewed you would say was significant in helping you understand where to go next in your senior project? The piece of research should be something you reviewed in November. Please explain what you learned and where are you going next because of this piece of research.
-"Meeting Other Survivors." Livestrong. Livestrong, n.d. Web. 20 Nov. 2012. <http://www.livestrong.org/Get-Help/Learn-About-Cancer/Cancer-Support-Topics/Emotional-Effects-of-Cancer/Meeting-Other-Survivors>.
I learned about the importance of cancer support groups and what a cancer survivor can take from them. I learned that these support groups are really important for the survivor's physical and emotional well-being. It can help to ease stress and provide solutions to problems a survivor may have. I am currently working with my volunteer coordinator and he's looking into the support groups and City of Hope and seeing if i could possibly volunteer for one for my independent component.
(3) Provide evidence from your independent component or the piece of research as something you recently did. For example, a photo of something you working on for your independent component or your notes from the video you watched.
These are the notes from my article:
meeting other survivors is not something that all survivors
are open to
- -can help a survivor figure out what is best for their health by getting advice from someone who has been through what they are going through
- -can be a source of hope and encouragement
- -give you advice on how to communicate with coworkers and children about your experience
- -can lessen fear of recurrence
- can open more doors to alternate methods of cancer support
- can surround the survivor with people who understand them and can give them hope for the future
