Healing and curing

What is healing? What is curing? How are they different? What is needed to promote healing or curing in your life?

These questions lie at the heart of your cancer treatment approach. Healing usually encompasses much more than eradicating tumor cells and their host tissues. Curing your cancer takes care of the disease, but the experience of illness often requires a more holistic approach for healing. The first step may be to explore what matters now in your life.

Learning circles

Learn, reflect, and connect through learning circles offered through a partnership of CancerChoices and Healing Circles Global. 

Learning circle: Healing and Curing
October 4th, 10–11:30am Pacific Time

In this learning circle, you can explore the powerful and multifaceted nature of healing, including how it is intertwined with curing but differs from it. Then in a small circle, you will be invited to reflect on the topic and learn from others’ experiences. 

Join us for a webinar September 29th, 10-11:30am Pacific Time

Radical Remission: 10 Healing Factors Common among Exceptional Cancer Survivors

Join The New School Host and CancerChoices Co-founder Michael Lerner for a conversation with Kelly Turner, New York Times bestselling author of Radical Remission and Radical Hope. Radical Remission is described as “a personal and deeply moving exploration of the power of the human spirit and innate wisdom of the body to overcome catastrophic illness.” Radical Hope “has collected hundreds of new cases of radical remissions—from cancer and now also other diseases—from across the globe. In Radical Hope, Turner explores the real-life application of the Radical Remission principles and the people who have chosen to take this journey.”
 

Sharing Love and Support: a practice to promote healing

Sharing Love and Support is one of our 7 Healing Practices. Similarly, embracing social support is one of the key factors in Dr. Kelly Turner’s research on radical remission. Participating in supportive relationships and communities can bring many benefits, from reducing risk of cancer and improving survival after diagnosis to improving quality of life.

You can explore all the ways that Sharing Love and Support can support your health and wellness, including recommendations for bringing more love and support into your life, on the CancerChoices website.
