May 6, 2009PowerPhrase ~ Your cancer won’t wait

Filed under: Nurses,The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

My acquaintance’s health practitioner told her,

  • If you wait to decide how to deal with your cancer, be aware that your cancer isn’t waiting.

Great counselors present options. They clearly state the likely impact of client choices without telling clients what to do. My group last week was concerned about coming on too strong. It’s good to be strong when the stakes are high. Just avoid making their decision your decision.
