DEBRA JARVIS
Wednesday, September 3 at 7:30 p.m.

Co-presented with GILDA'S CLUB SEATTLE. After over two decades of serving as a chaplain to cancer patients and families, Debra Jarvis was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer. She shares her insights and those of many of her patients and colleagues in her memoir, It's Not About the Hair: And Other Certainties of Life and Cancer (newly in paper, Sasquatch). Debra Jarvis, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, is the general oncology chaplain for the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. "A wonderful, wise, funny and real sharing of a journey ... I recommend this book as a must-read for anyone who has yearned for a conversation about breast cancer with someone who has been there." - Jean Shinoda Bolen. Gilda's Club, named in honor of the late Gilda Radner, is a free meeting place where men, women, and children living with cancer and their families and friends can find emotional, social, and educational support.
