Cancer & Your Career

A facilitated group exploring work, meaning, and purpose while living with cancer.

Cancer changes how we interact with our work. It reshapes priorities, energy, identity, and what “success” even means. And yet, there are few spaces to talk honestly about this intersection.
 

Cancer and Your Career is a free, monthly group for people living with cancer - patients and survivors - who want a place to explore how diagnosis, treatment, and uncertainty affect their working lives.

This is an ongoing, guided, peer-centered conversation about work, purpose, and meaning in the context of cancer. It's not coaching, therapy, or a job-search workshop.

What This Group Is

  • Free and open

  • Career- and identity-focused

  • Guided with monthly themes

  • A space where you decide when and what to share

What This Group isn't

  • A sales funnel

  • Medical or mental health counseling

  • About “staying positive” or optimizing productivity
