About This Podcast
You have cancer. It is a surreal identity shift. The word “cancer" transports the person's identity to “cancer patient” in a world of the physical, emotional, and spiritual unknown, including pain, suffering, and the threat of death.
After diagnosis, does cancer have to define my identity and, therefore my existence? Can I have a purposeful and meaningful inner life as a cancer patient? Does spirituality play a role?
We are having a discussion. Join us in the discussion. It is possible to travel in a place of serenity and peace on the cancer journey. Join a 17-year cancer survivor still on the journey as the Podcast host with his friend, Sean Stewart, a fellow recovery participant acting as the Podcast’s facilitator.
