Speaking Up for Your Needs and Setting Boundaries in Cancer Care

Speaking Up for Your Needs and Setting Boundaries in Cancer Care

This week, we’re diving into the emotional side of cancer care with Kathleen Ringel, hospice social worker and adjunct professor at Fordham University. Kathleen brings deep experience and compassion to her work, supporting adult and pediatric patients—and their families—through some of life’s most difficult moments.

From navigating tough conversations with your healthcare team to setting boundaries with loved ones, Kathleen shares practical, empowering strategies for maintaining your voice and protecting your energy during cancer treatment. We talk about managing guilt, asking for what you need, and finding that tricky balance between accepting help and staying in control.

Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or advocate, this episode is full of honest insights and actionable advice to help you feel more grounded and supported throughout your care journey.
