Cancer Legal Care will be tabling at the 20th annual Survivorship Conference! Since 2005, the Masonic Cancer Center in collaboration with M Health Fairview has proudly hosted this free educational conference that is focused on questions and issues that survivors and their families often face after cancer treatment or transplant therapy (blood and marrow, cellular, or immunotherapy).

Please join us for this webinar to learn about Minnesota's new Paid Leave law- what it is, how it works, and who is eligible.

Registration is required. Call (763) 581-2804 to register by Friday, April 3, 2026.

A cancer journey doesn’t often come with a clear, predictable timeline - nor is remission or survivorship the end point many imagine it to be. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, deep in treatment, or years into remission and wondering why things still feel complicated - this conversation is for you. Together, we’ll explore that in-between space (the messy middle) and name it as a real, shared part of the cancer experience. This is where life looks different, energy comes (and goes), and completing treatment doesn’t mean being the same as you once were. Together we’ll reflect on what often goes unspoken: cancer is a disruptive, overwhelming, and identity-shifting experience. We’ll talk honestly about cognitive overload, brain fog, half-finished projects, changing relationships, and the pressure to be positive or grateful before you’re ready.

Please join this lunch and learn session to better understand what a health care directive is, how to prepare one, the legal requirements, and what to consider when making decisions about your future health care wishes.
