Celebrating the Ways Cancer Patients Add Life to Their Days
by Evan J. Lipson, M.D., guest blogger
Dr. Evan Lipson is an oncologist who launched an organization called "Seize the Days" in order to celebrate people living with cancer and explore the ways they make their days meaningful. The project gives patients and their loved ones an opportunity to record and share their stories using broadcast-quality audio interviews, which are available to view at www.seizethedays.org.
Interviews on the website from over 50 patients demonstrate that people living with cancer add life to their days in all sorts of interesting and remarkable ways. Some people strengthen relationships with loved ones, becoming even closer with family and friends. Other people concentrate on activism, starting foundations or fundraising. Some derive fulfillment by creating something - art, poetry, or music. These creations help patients express emotions, leave a legacy, or regain a sense of control.
