Resilience: Finding Courage in the Face of Hardship
Susan Wener is a TEDx alum, bestselling author, educator and therapist. At the age of 36, she was diagnosed with colon cancer. She began treatment with one goal 鈥� to see her children finish high school. She successfully underwent chemotherapy and dedicated her career to helping Montreal鈥檚 cancer community.
She pursued studies in natural health, recognizing the importance of holistic treatment methods. On the cusp of graduating as a natural health consultant, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. The prognosis was grim and required life-altering surgery to remove her right lung. Susan shocked her doctors by recovering over 90% of her normal lung capacity.
Ms. Wener is the first and only natural health consultant invited to sit on the Jewish General Hospital鈥檚 Gynecological Oncology Tumour Board. She is also a Trustee of the Jewish General Hospital Foundation Board.
Ms. Wener will share her amazing story and offer her insights on facing difficult times with hope and resilience.
