“Cancer: It’s Not Just Physical”

JALBCA thanks our moderator, Hon. Linda Capitti, and presenters Cynthia Hayes, Dr. Alyson Moadel-Robblee and Moya O’Connor for their wonderful contributions to JALBCA’s informative and inspiring program “Cancer: It’s Not Just Physical,” on Tuesday, October 12, 2021. Thanks, too, to our many co-sponsors (listed at https://jalbca.org/events/cancer-its-not-just-physical/) and to long-time JALBCA supporter Kasowitz Benson Torres and Evridiki Poumpouridis for hosting the participants and the Zoom broadcast.

The presenters shared their personal experiences with breast cancer and responded to numerous questions from the audience, discussing the emotional ramifications of a cancer diagnosis, helping patients and their loving caregivers learn about the typical sequence of emotions experienced at diagnosis, treatment and beyond, understand the science behind those emotions as well as how the disease and its treatment contribute to the psychological experience, and discover how to cope with it all. If you missed the program or would like to see it again or share it with others, the recording and the PowerPoint slides are available at https://jalbca.org/events/cancer-its-not-just-physical/. Information about Cynthia’s book, “The Big Ordeal: Understanding and Managing the Psychological Turmoil of Cancer” is at https://thebigordeal.com/book/.
