Yes, I survived cancer. But that doesn't define me

Title:: Yes, I survived cancer. But that doesn't define me
Speaker:: Debra Jarvis
Description:: Debra Jarvis had worked as a hospital chaplain for nearly 30 years when she was diagnosed with cancer. And she learned quite a bit as a patient. In a witty, daring talk, she explains how the identity of “cancer survivor” can feel static. She asks us all to claim our hardest experiences, while giving ourselves room to grow and evolve.
