Adrian Pogacian: Fear Comes as Natural, But Hope is Learned!
Adrian Pogacian, Founder of INCKA Psycho-oncology Center, Host of Beyond the Cancer Diagnosis Interview Series at OncoDaily, shared CancerWorld‘s post, adding:
“I do believe in opportunities within challenges and PTG explores this journey of life appreciation after a traumatic event.
Cancer is not just a disease is also a traumatic experience for patients, hence the healing is not an automatic process but something that have to be learned.
Thank you CancerWorld for having the space to share my thoughts and Taryn Greene, for all your support during my PTG learning process!
And, as I always said:
Fear comes as natural, but Hope is learned!”

In this Cancer World feature, psychologist Adrian Pogacian explores Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG)—the often-overlooked process by which cancer patients redefine themselves.
Highlights from the piece:
- Cancer delivers two diagnoses: one physical, one emotional
- Grief and anxiety may coexist with resilience, joy, and renewed purpose
- Rumination, when paired with active coping, can become a catalyst for growth
- Up to 74% of patients report some form of PTG, greater strength, empathy, or life meaning
