Another hurricane is brewing, and this time it has the potential to negatively impact numerous areas of Florida and other nearby states and territories. Unfortunately, I have experience weathering several storms as a long-term resident of Northern and Southern Florida, along with having worked as a volunteer in crisis management situations for close to 15 years. What I have not experienced, however, is being under medical care for cancer during a storm. As a cancer survivor, I have taken steps to prepare for this potential storm and checked in on survivor sisters and friends who are undergoing treatments. What follows are my thoughts, concerns and possible tips for self-care during and after a storm.
