Hi- Is there a link for the archived presentations for the series titled: The Ninth Annual Cancer Survivorship Series: Living With, Through & Beyond Cancer? I missed the first few and wanted to listen to them. Thanks, Ted
I am not aware of a location for archived presentations. I “Googled” this question using some of the earlier numbers, 8th, 7th, etc. and found the links to be dead. You might contact NCI at http://dccps.cancer.gov/ocs/office-survivorship.html for additional information.
