2/5 Earlier this week @picardonhealth published this @globeandmail article 
Core takeaway: people living with & beyond #cancer are experts at coping with #uncertainty https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-what-cancer-patients-can-teach-us-about-surviving-the-coronavirus/?utm_source=Shared+Article+Sent+to+User&utm_medium=E-mail:+Newsletters+/+E-Blasts+/+etc.&utm_campaign=Shared+Web+Article+Links

3/5 My addition: this is especially true of #uncertainty about the meaning of new and changing bodily #symptoms
#uncertainty about symptoms can remain long after #cancer treatment ends (is it just a headache? a new complication? a cancer recurrence?) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31276614/

4/5 Many people are having similar #uncertainties around #covid19 symptoms (why am I feeling especially tired today? is it just a cough?)
Like in #cancer, how we #interpret and respond to ambiguous symptoms impacts both our physical and our #mentalhealth

5/5 Those living with and beyond #cancer have so much more to teach us, especially about how to cope with #uncertainty around #symptoms in the context of a significant #healththreat.
