As a former American Cancer Fellow, a Gyn Cancer surgeon, a person living with cancer and presently a counseling psychologist at a Cancer Center in San Diego, Paul believes that we are far more than our diagnosis and far more capable of participating in our health then the medical community has given us credit for.In this program, he speaks to the roles, stresses and helplessness that family members experience as caretakers, and how they can more effectively cope with a love one's illness.It's a talk about hope, understanding, life and spirituality intended to promote a dialog between Paul and the participating audience of patients, caregivers and individuals who serve in the healing arts.

During a sabbatical from private practice and academic medicine, Dr. Brenner counseled patients with terminal illness.These individuals changed his life.Touched by the beauty of the human spirit that they revealed, Dr. Brenner never returned to medicine, as he had known it.During the subsequent years, he limited his practice to one patient a day who had a life threatening illness.He found that those facing death, often tapped into the essential meaning of life, restructured their lives and offered wisdom for the living.In this poignant presentation, Dr. Brenner tells the stories of some of these individuals and how they redefined, for him, health, illness and healing.This understanding also helped him manage his own cancer.
