| CANCER I came to coaching as a direct result of my own breast cancer. After treatment ended I needed to integrate the experience into my post-cancer life. Coaching, and specifically coaching people with cancer has been a way to focus my gratitude for life, share wisdom and learn from others. Once the schedules, appointments and treatment have ended you are left alone with your thoughts and the realization that you are not the same person you were prior to cancer. At some point in your own recovery it may hit you -- I had CANCER! How do you acknowledge that new person? How do you negotiate relationships that surely have changed? How do you support your family in this new phase of life? What lessons have you learned? What do you desire now that you have survived cancer? What about the fear that awakens you in the middle of the night? In addition to personal coaching around cancer, I offer lectures and workshops to support groups, symposia or conferences nation-wide. |
CANCER
| If you have been diagnosed with cancer: This is YOUR cancer. Your reactions are valid. Proceed step by step as you gather information and arrange treatment. Ask questions and when you reach overload, stop for the day. Turn off the computer, get some fresh air and breathe. Remember, people are well intentioned but you are allowed to set limits and boundaries. You may want to refer to an article I was interviewed for, Organizing Cancer Care After Your Diagnosis. You can access it through my Essays page. |
