Life Beyond Cancer (LBC) is a four-day retreat founded by US Oncology for women cancer survivors and oncology nurses. This weekend focuses on the many components of advocacy and wellness through and beyond the cancer experience.  Specific areas of focus during the retreat include:

• Restoration which focuses on the Mind/Body/Spirit connection through nutrition, exercise, body work and mindfulness
   
• Learning offered through presentations and workshops, both experiential and didactic, that focus on methods to care for self while caring for others
   
• Networking opportunities to meet current community advocates, learn about existing programs from around the country, and share your own ideas about "giving back"
   
• Cancer Survivorship and Community Advocacy is highlighted throughout the weekend

In addition to having a meaningful personal experience, participants are challenged and enabled to return to their communities to begin or support existing cancer services and advocacy programs.
