Paul has provided many keynotes to cancer patients and their families—usually as part of National Cancer Survivors Day celebrations—as well as to nurses and physicians working in oncology settings. His keynotes are always entertaining and fun and get the audience actively involved—and are guaranteed to get you laughing. But they are substantive, as well. The substantive portion of the program focuses on how humor helps get through the difficult days going through cancer treatments and learning to live with cancer from this point onwards in one’s life.
Patients with a new diagnosis of cancer are cautioned to not use humor to hide from the difficult negative emotions that accompany such a diagnosis (this is not adaptive). Once acceptance of the disease has occurred, humor is shown to be an effective tool in coping and sustaining a positive, upbeat, optimistic mood in one’s life.
Paul has written multiple articles for Coping Magazine focusing on using humor to cope with cancer.
