## Resource

For many patients, a cancer diagnosis doesn’t just raise medical questions. It raises existential ones, too. Questions about meaning, belief, and what comes next. In this episode, Hajar and David explore the role of faith and spirituality in the cancer journey, and what it looks like to search for comfort, certainty, or understanding when so much feels out of your control.
