R Hughes Ph.D.

R Hughes, Ph.D retired educator and mental health practitioner diagnosed with brain cancer in October of 2020, has moved beyond traditional practices. Stop telling good people that they are dying. The thought is that cancer patients will die before they die. His background highlights weekly contributions to Nuvo magazine in the late 90's, an Horizon award in Oakland, California for a sports article on Pat Tillman, penning essential awareness of the homeless during the pandemic. Having taught human development for 22 years throughout New England as well the privilege of lecturing in 36 in 2023, Dr. Hughes insightfully addresses readers, patients, oncologists, caregivers, students and psychologists of the need to cease treating cancer in this decade as if it were still 1960 promoting unintentional fear. From Dallas to Salt Lake City attendees have said his words charged a new framework for living while living.
