Cynthia Hayes is a former freelance journalist, management consultant, marketing executive, executive trainer and cancer survivor. Cynthia used her 30 years of experience in interviewing, synthesizing information and telling a story to write The Big Ordeal Understanding and Managing the Psychological Turmoil of Cancer. Her research for the book included interviews with patients, caregivers, oncologists, psychologists, neuroscientists and recovery experts of all kinds. Cynthia and I speak about her book, the emotional response to cancer, the need for open dialog between caregivers and their care partners, the importance of support and the many facets of cancer caregiving.
