Navigating the Storm: Managing Stress and Anxiety Through Your Cancer Journey

In this deeply insightful episode of our podcast, we explore the often-hidden challenges melanoma patients and survivors face—stress and anxiety. Living with melanoma or surviving it is a testament to strength, but it comes with its own set of emotional hurdles. To shed light on this critical issue and offer some groundbreaking strategies for coping, we are honored to have Dr. Judson Brewer, MD, PhD, a leading expert in mindfulness and stress reduction, and the Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center at Brown University.
