Beating Cancer Physically and Mentally

Medical topics make people uncomfortable, especially when the presenter has to recount their experiences of unimaginable pain to listeners. The topic of cancer has always had a stigma to it and is usually a rather private topic to the afflicted. However, what I found most impressive was Jason’s rather cavalier attitude to recounting his fight with cancer. Although he was talking to an audience who are unlikely to understand what he went through, he was able to describe his feelings and what he had to go through to overcome cancer. Just from his presentation, I was able to feel the trauma that such an experience could leave someone with. However, the most impressive feat that I found was that Jason was able to use this life-changing experience to help others that have been diagnosed with cancer. I cannot imagine the strength required to relive the cancer experience and to go back and counsel others facing the same life-changing trauma is not something that anyone could do. By not letting this brush with death affect him shows that Jason was able to mentally and physically overcome cancer which is such an impressive feat.
