Voices from the Margins: Reflections of an Oncology Chaplain

Abstract

Michael Eselun, BCC, who serves as the oncology chaplain for the Simms-Mann/UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology, recently gave a lecture as part of the Insights Into Cancer lecture series at UCLA called ‘Cancer: “It Could Be Worse” – A Spiritual Ponzi Scheme?’. Michael has written a personal reflection to provide a fuller context for his chaplaincy, as he views it, and to provide some background to the lecture. A link to a video of the lecture is included.
