Featured Speaker: Christine Clifford, CSP

All of us know of people who turn lemons into lemonade. It isn’t often that we get the privilege of meeting such an individual.

Before her bout with breast cancer, Christine Clifford had definitely cracked the glass ceiling. By age 40, she was senior executive vice president for The SPAR Group, an international marketing firm in New York. Her accounts included Kmart, Toys ‘R’ Us, Procter & Gamble, AT&T, Mattel Toys, and Revlon.

Diagnosed with breast cancer in December 1994, Christine wrote five award-winning books including Not Now . . . I’m Having a No Hair Day!; Our Family Has Cancer, Too!; and Inspiring Breakthrough Secrets to Live Your Dreams.

Today, Christine is president and CEO of The Cancer Club -- the world’s largest producer of humorous and helpful products for people with cancer -- and host of The Christine Clifford Celebrity Golf Tournament, created in 1998.

About Duke Center for Cancer Survivorship

The Duke Center for Cancer Survivorship, which sits within the new Duke Cancer Institute, combines the services offered by three patient care programs: the Cancer Patient Support Program, Oncology Recreation Therapy, and the Cancer Patient Education Program.

These programs provide Duke cancer patients with the most comprehensive support focusing on healing the body, mind and soul. The three main priorities of the programs are support, therapy and education.

The Duke Center for Cancer Survivorship was founded based on the belief that this type of care is vital to cancer survivors at Duke.

For information about the Center please call 919-684-8571.

"At Duke we believe that individuals become cancer survivors at the moment of diagnosis and continue to be survivors for the rest of their lives." -- Tina Piccirilli, Director, Duke Center for Cancer Survivorship
