Therapy for Cancer & Illness


Cancer isn’t always a one-time event. Cancer can be closely watched and treated, but sometimes it never completely goes away. It can be a chronic (ongoing) illness, much like diabetes or heart disease. This is often the case with certain cancer types, such as ovarian cancer, chronic leukemias, and some lymphomas. Sometimes cancers that have spread or have come back in other parts of the body, like metastatic breast or prostate cancer, also become chronic cancers.

The cancer may be controlled with treatment, meaning it might seem to go away or stay the same. The cancer may not grow or spread as long as you’re getting treatment. Sometimes when treatment shrinks the cancer, you can take a break until the cancer starts to grow again. But in either of these cases the cancer is still there – it doesn’t go away and stay away – it’s not cured. 

Living with cancer is different from living after cancer. And it’s becoming more common every day.

The best advice I have ever received about growing up is to be humble enough to acknowledge what you don’t know, and smart enough to surround yourself with people wiser than yourself. Indigenous people of Canada have always valued the wisdom of Elder’s. I am not indigenous and I am blessed to be surrounded with many indigenous folks whose wisdom I greatly admire. One such person is Dr. Nel Wieman one of the first indigenous psychiatrists in Canada.
