Living With Cancer

Living with cancer - My experiences from teaching at a Cancer Support Community Center This course aims to create an awareness for the healing processes that a cancer survivor or a person dealing with cancer is going through. The journey post treatment is very individual and returning to 'normal live' and work can present some very confronting issues. I hope to create more love, understanding and empathy for this audience, to create more acceptance for them when they are ready to re-integrate into their families and their workplaces. This course is meant for cancer patients, survivors, care givers, family, friends and others who seek to develop an understanding of the anguish and emotional suffering cancer patients typically endure, and how to provide the required mental support. By sharing my experiences from working with cancer survivors and people who are facing cancer, I felt the need to speak up for this group and also help them process this usually very painful, intense and emotional process. This course aims to bring a broader recognition of the unique needs that cancer survivors have after completing treatment.
