Manage episode 466718540 series 3341986
Is the reason I got cancer because of fate, punishment...or is it just part of the human experience? Show Notes
How people receive a cancer diagnosis is variable. Their reactions can range from anxiety, fear, and depression to feelings of guilt. They may feel cancer is a punishment for past actions or failure to practice a healthy lifestyle. This week we dive into these emotional reactions.
Our guest Dr. Jeanna Ford shares cultural perspectives on cancer and how people such as veterans may have self-blame. For example, thinking cancer is a punishment for something they did in the Vietnam War. Learn how Dr. Ford helps them through these feelings.
