Ep. 38 - How Do You Find Hope After a Cancer Diagnosis

Sometimes the people who help us heal become part of our story forever.When stage three colorectal cancer returned as stage four with liver metastasis, Pam Feinberg-Rivkin found herself facing a very different journey than the one she had traveled before. Looking for support beyond treatment alone, she connected with Dr. Jen Green, a naturopathic physician and integrative oncology expert whose guidance would become an important part of her path through chemotherapy, recovery, and remission. What unfolds is a thoughtful conversation about what it really means to care for the whole person during cancer treatment.As Jen shares her approach to integrative cancer care, the conversation moves beyond supplements and research into the deeply human side of healing. They explore survivorship, purpose, stress, sleep, movement, meditation, healthy relationships, and the importance of creating a life that supports long-term wellness. Pam reflects on the lessons that emerged from her own cancer journey, including learning how to receive help, embrace community, and step away from the relentless pace that once defined her life.Jen also shares her experience as a cancer survivor, the role of resilience in difficult seasons, and the unexpected ways connection, gratitude, dance, mindfulness, and presence can help carry us through uncertainty. Healing is rarely about one thing alone, but about finding the courage to belong fully to your life again.
