Welcome!
Experiencing cancer involves anxiety, grief, and distress – and can simultaneously renew curiosity, compassion, and conscientiousness. Since learning about my high-grade brain tumor last summer at the age of 27, these dualities have occupied my mind, along with many questions about how cancer intersects with different issues and interests close to my heart. This speaker series of panel discussions will touch on numerous topics (such as narrative medicine and vocational changes) from a hopeful and humane perspective. All are welcome: providers, patients, caregivers, educators, activists, and anyone else eager to explore empathy-driven healing for ourselves, our loved ones, and our world.
