39. How Creative Writing Can Help Heal Cancer Survivors with Sam Rose

Welcome to my Podcast, The Wellness Project with Des. On today’s Podcast Episode, I interview writer, editor, Ph.D. student, and three-time cancer survivor living with Lynch Syndrome, Sam Rose. Lynch Syndrome- "is an inherited condition that increases your risk of colon cancer, endometrial cancer, and several other cancers." Sam shares her experiences with cancer, the physical and emotional toll, as well as how her cancer diagnoses and living with Lynch Syndrome have affected the relationships in her life.  She also explains her research findings, about the benefits creative writing can have for survivors of cancer. Being a writer, Sam recently released her Memoir, Gut Feelings: Coping With Cancer and Living With Lynch Syndrome. It is about her experiences with and the emotional effects of cancer survivorship, and how cancer survivors can practice self-care. Unfortunately, most of us know someone with cancer or someone who has had cancer. If you want to learn about the benefits creative writing can have for survivors or if you want to learn how you can be more helpful to those with a cancer diagnosis, then you won't want to miss this episode.
