Resume - Expert Panel
Receiving the news of the diagnosis – the patient’s feelings and experience
The news event is a charged and complex moment – for the candidate, the family, and the doctor.
The panel will discuss the challenges, the different approaches, and the emotional and practical tools that can turn a difficult moment into an opportunity for dialogue, hope, and building an action plan. Through the eyes of doctors, a social worker, and a survivor, we will examine how we can continue – anew.
