Pamela Post-Ferrante Email and Phone Number

Eight surgeries and treatments for cancer spanned five years of my life in the 1990’s. The cancers came one at a time. I never thought there would be another. By the fourth diagnosis, I vowed that if I lived, I’d do what many have done before me, help others who have experienced cancer. In creating the sessions of this book, I have tried to think of everything that would have made it better for me when I had cancer, and afterwards when I had no idea of what to do. My further education, deepening practice in mindful meditation, writing, teaching and the workshops I have lead have all prepared me, in the fullest way, to write this book, Writing and Healing: A Mindful Guide for Cancer Survivors.Radiation was one of my treatments for cancer, and the cause of pericarditis which required complicated surgeries to treat. An essay about this period of my life appearing in "25 Women Who Survived Cancer: Notable Women Share Inspiring Stories of Hope," edited by Mark Chimsky, is coming out mid-September 2016.
