Like many of our participants, ACLP co-founder Meg Cadoux Hirshberg has heard a doctor say the words: “You have cancer.” Three times, actually.

During this session, Meg will share her 12 “Rules of the Road” for how to handle a cancer diagnosis, both emotionally and practically. She will answer your questions and look forward to hearing your insights and practical wisdom about how to stay focused and centered when the world comes crashing down around you.
