NORWAY — The Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine will host two special events, a concert for those impacted by cancer, as well as a discussion of lymphedema, the last week of July.
Musicians from Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival will perform “Healing Through Music,” a 45-minute chamber music concert on Wednesday, July 24, for the center.
The concert will be held at 3:30 p.m. in the barn at McLaughlin Garden and Homestead, 97 Main St., South Paris, and is free for anyone impacted by cancer and caregivers.
On Thursday, July 25, physical therapists Kaz Toita and Beth Damon from Stephens Memorial Hospital will discuss lymphedema. The session will be from 4 to 5 p.m. at the Cancer Resource Center, 199 Main St.
Lymphedema can occur after cancer treatment, and affects lymph nodes. The discussion will cover symptoms, treatment and management. A demonstration of therapy treatment options will be shared. This is a great opportunity for questions and answers in a small, group setting.
