Betsy Aaron is living with stage 4 stomach cancer. She is a writer and has recently started to share her observations, information, and attitude to living peacefully with, rather than waging war on cancer. She and Sara talk about the language the medical industry uses, and that we are too used to: “Fighting it”, “Killing the cells”, “Battling” and knows for her these words weren’t working.
They talk about Betsy’s realization that this “fighting” takes the wrong kind of energy and puts blame on someone who isn’t conquering the disease, thinking they aren’t battling the right way or enough. Betsy takes an active part in decision making with her medical team and believes it’s important to make decisions based on how you feel, what your body needs and how to go about it.
Betsy has done well with not using her energy for fighting. She has reduced her cancer by a lot. Though it doesn’t go away, she knows that an inner peace and peaceful co-existence in her body and spirit really helps her.
One of Betsy’s recent projects includes her 20-episode video series, “A Pacifist’s Guide to Living with Cancer,” now on YouTube. The videos were conceived to help the 1 in 2 who now live with cancer and also to reach the medical community with some new insights.
Betsy earned an MFA in Creative Writing and is the recipient of the New York Foundation for The Arts Award, Fiction.
She works as a copywriter who specializes in creating brand voices for industries including tech, non-profits, health and wellness, entertainment and more. Professional website: betsyaaronthewriter.com.
