Join host Cynthia Toussaint on her next episode of The Mighty's "The Pain-Cancer Connection"! This Monday, October 26th @ 1pm PST, Cynthia will interview chronic pain patient and advocate, Tom Norris, about his three decade journey with pain that was initiated by aggressive cancer treatment. Cynthia and Tom will share how the cancer recovery phase is often painful and anxiety-ridden - and how to remain resilient and forward moving during this most challenging time. Looking forward to your great comments and questions!
This groundbreaking book, authored by integrative oncologist Keith Block, MD, became For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint's care bible during her recent breast cancer treatment. And we're pleased to report that this week Dr. Block accepted our invitation to speak at For Grace's February 2021 Women In Pain Conference that will focus on the Pain-Cancer Connection. Dr. Block will be presenting during the "Solution" segment of our day, giving all-important advice about why it's critical to keep our "terrain" healthy to avoid cancer and/or a recurrence, We're thrilled!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - and something For Grace will consider sparking legislation around once Sacramento is out of its COVID freeze. This new concern is born out of our founder's recent remission from triple-negative breast cancer (the worst prognosis) - and her concern of a recurrence. The For Grace team sends our good energies to all who have survived this brutal disease, and who've been traumatized by the treatment and live in anxiety as a result...
Check out For Grace's October Story of the Month as we continue our focus on the pain-cancer connection. Pat Wetzel expected a long road when diagnosed with slow-growing lymphoma, but she didn't think it would be so painful. After starting her chemo regimen, Pat began to experience devastating joint pain that turned this once-active athlete into a scooter user. Forgoing steriods, she found lasting relief with acupuncture and other integrative remedies. Despite ongoing pain from cancer treatment, Pat travels the world while advising, "You're the CEO of your health."
