The Four Commandments of Cancer

Join Dr. Weizer as he discusses ‘The Four Commandments of Cancer’. These commandments will help you to be more fully alive during the cancer journey and to gain insight into your fears and uncertainties.

 

Having been on this journey of cancer since 1989, Dr. Weizer has had many wonderful and many terrible experiences.

 

Although we suffer, we believe our pain is endurable. Although we are dying, we choose to live. Like the story of the velveteen rabbit, cancer will rough you up, as it makes you more real. One of his patients frequently reminds him—“I always remember what you said the first time I saw you—‘cancer is a one-way ticket to the land of no bullshit’.

In his practice he has seen many people die, but he has seen almost everyone value breath and kindness.

 

“These deep relationships with patients are so satisfying and life-enriching, for both of us. I cannot imagine practicing any other way”.
