 |
For coping with the emotional burden of the disease and treatment. The physical ability to get out and “escape” for a time is impaired both by the physical toll that the treatments take and by the limitations they place on being out in crowded places (due to fear of infection). The need for "escape" and temporary release is very strong, and women often manage it by watching movies at home. Thus the Center includes a movie library for home rental. |
Books
Exercise Classes
Lectures
Discussions with oncologists and surgeons
Children's Activity Room
Jerusalem
Jerusalem of gold, stone and light - home to three of the great monotheistic religions - offers unique opportunities and challenges to the center. Jews from all over the world, secular, religious, and haredi, and Arabs, both Moslem and Christian, inhabit this ancient and modern city. Differences of culture and language must be addressed, while realizing that universal concerns and fears unite them all.
Our building
The first stage in establishing The Center For The Breast Cancer Survivor is finding the proper physical location. The setting must be home-like in look and feel and accessible most of the hours of the day. It must be centrally located so that women can come easily from all parts of the city. At the same time, it should have convenient and free parking. The building will be divided into different spaces configured for the various activities of the center.
