Who is a ‘Survivor’

Cancer Survivor Jack Ganster

Jack Ganster, Founder SOE

At SOE, the belief is that you become a ‘survivor’ at the moment that you are told of your critical diagnosis. You do not need for a certain time period to elapse, nor do you need to wait for test results to become a ‘survivor.’ It is natural to consider yourself  a ‘victim’ at first,  but you need to think of it this way;  Being a ‘victim’ is a state of body and being a ‘survivor’ is a ‘state of mind’.

SOE will provide participants with the tools that enable them to live as a ‘survivor’ and leave the ‘victim’ behind. During the week we will discuss some philosophical differences between ‘victim’ and ‘survivor.’
