The Chinese word for “crisis” is made up of two Chinese characters. The first is “danger.” The second also offers an “opportunity.” brbr Many see a crisis only in the context of danger. In doing so, many show their worst personality traits as they react to the perceived danger. Many lash out at those around them. Many are abusive and are too quick to focus on who is to blame for the crisis. brbr Many of those who face the crisis of cancer, however, offer a remarkable role model to the rest of us. Although they have every reason to feel resentful, disappointed, angry and bitter, many face their crisis with an almost overwhelming dignity. By doing so, we can all learn from them how we might handle our non-cancer crises. brbr Our guest, Dr. Arash Asher, has devoted his life to supporting those with cancer and their families and loved ones. He is Director of Cancer Survivorship and Rehabilitation at the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
