We LOVE our Art Friends here at AnCan! Not only do we create beautiful things together, but we take the time to come together as a community. All of our “students” are learning more and more each time, and we use those skills in other classes.
We also truly care about what matters to you. In fact, this art class project was requested by AnCan Art Friend Sharon, who wants to see the northern lights in person. Do you have any ideas for future classes? Just let us know!!
For this class, you’ll need
Paper
Your choice of medium – markers, pen, pencil, colored pencils, paint, watercolor pencils, anything that can mark.
Art Class was back in session with Hannah teaching us about fall trees, including fun add ons to your fall escape like owls, squirrels, and a swing.
Anything goes here! While markers were the main medium, we heard about coffee, soy sauce, and gum as potential art supplies.

This art class was also in loving honor of our AnCan art friend, George Degnon, and we are holding his family tightly in our hearts. May his memory always be a blessing.

We had a fascinating webinar on August 29th, a debate on whether transrectal biopsies or transperineal biopsies are better for prostate cancer patients.
Don’t know the difference? No problem, this webinar will give lots of food for thought, and plenty to take back to the doctor’s office with you!
Deborah Kaye, MD, Assistant Professor Duke University Division of Urology and Duke Clinical Research Institute Margolis Policy Center, argued for transrectal biopsies. Arvin George, MD, a urologic surgeon specializing in the diagnosis and management of genitourinary cancers at University of Michigan Health, argued for transperineal procedures.
We have been reading all your feedback and taking it to heart, you want more information on this topic. To quote Rick Davis- “we hear ya!!”, and we are working on it.
