The Cancer Dojo Workbook

Help us build the book that makes cancer patients Harder To Kill!

Hi everyone, we are Cancer Dojo - a purpose-driven social enterprise dedicated to helping cancer patients become happier, healthier and harder to kill by enabling them to engage actively in their own healing together together with their medicine - to build mental resiliency and optimise their chance of a positive recovery.

Cancer Dojo was founded after our CEO, Conn Bertish, survived a very rare adult brain cancer. His experience - using creativity, reframing, movement, humour, drawing, purpose and daily emotional expression to augment his treatments and strengthen his immune function was supported by some of South Africa's top professors of Oncology and Science and thus became the foundation of our resilience methodology.

Conn’s oncology team described his response as “remarkable,” “unexpected,” and “a one-of-a-kind case study of resilience in action.”
This experience inspired the creation of Cancer Dojo...
