Coping with Loss of Control in a Cancer Diagnosis
Mar 11th, 2022
A Cure in Sight is joined in The Eye Believe Podcast by Arielle Farkash, a patient diagnosed with ocular melanoma in Nov 2018.
Three things she would share with anyone beginning their journey, or in a hard place:
- Focus on what you know–don’t get caught up in the stories of what if.
- Ask ALL the questions–they’re all valid!
- It may be hard now, but it DOES get better with time. All things good and bad DO come to an end eventually; when it’s hard, hang on and when it’s good, lean in and be present.
Arielle recommends a course available to cancer patients to allow you to link up with other patients and develop resiliency skills. You can find more details about A Fresh Chapter at https://afreshchapter.com/ignite/
Her favorite book, Bright Side, by Kim Holden can be found here https://amzn.to/34yRNON
