Any Port in A Storm
The expression “any port in a storm” refers to ancient Maritime Law stating that any vessel caught in a storm can find safe harbor in any port; whether the port be friendly or hostile.

In a way our survivors are very much like these ships caught in a storm; especially before they meet their cancer team at the time of consultation.

The question is will you provide the safe harbor our survivors need by building a rapport, creating trust, instilling confidence, and laying out a coordinated and successful plan, so they leave your “harbor” to sail the calm and protected waters of survivorship.

The Cancer Rollercoaster-The Ups & Downs & All Arounds

I can’t tell you how many times a Survivor-Thriver has told me how their journey with cancer is like being on a roller coaster.
