Every year, around one million Americans are diagnosed with cancer.
That statistic defines the work of the Life Monologue Project - around one million stories need to be told and around
one million heard.
The Life Monologue Project (LMP) plays an important role in the lives of people who want to tell their stories. Cancer
affects not just a specific organ or a system of the body; it permeates a person’s emotional and psychological well-being
and their relationship’s with family and friends. LMP’s workshops provide a valuable, but often neglected, complement
to a person’s medical treatment. Whether through the written word or a theatrical presentation, The Life Monologue Project
helps individuals with cancer or surviving cancer give expression to their pain, fear, hope and courage. Through this special type of palliative care, men and women with life-threatening illness find ways to
articulate the diversity and force of their emotions and help them cope with the realities of their experience.
In affiliation with hospitals, care centers, pharmaceutical companies, non-profit organizations such
as the American Cancer Society, LMP has nationally grown its programs to serve those directly and indirectly affected by the
ravages of this disease. Moreover, LMP’s workshops provides these same businesses with enhanced visibility in the patient
cares arena, a channel of communication to patient organizations and patient service departments of hospitals, and a platform
on which to build continued goodwill from patients at every stage of their diagnosis and treatment.
