Don’t miss this ALKtALK with Dr. Karen Schurgin @ 7pm ET

She’s back with her signature blend of wit, wisdom, and honesty for a conversation many of us need right now: how to cope with the holidays while living with a terminal illness.

For ALK patients and their loved ones, the holiday season can magnify what we already navigate every day — the fear, the fatigue, the pressure to “be festive,” and the ache of wondering what the future holds. Dr. Schurgin will offer compassionate, practical strategies to help you make meaning this season and prepare your mindset for 2026.

We’ll explore:
• Handling insensitive or uninformed comments
• Setting boundaries (and saying no without guilt)
• Facing the fear of “What if this is my last holiday?”
• Navigating holiday depression and anxiety
• Managing fatigue in a season of over-doing

Whether you’re a patient or a caregiver, newly diagnosed or years into treatment, this ALKtALK will leave you feeling grounded, supported, and empowered.

Bring your questions. There will be Q&A throughout the session.

This ALKtALK will be recorded and uploaded to the ALK Positive YouTube channel.
