Help and Hope Happen Here
This Podcast is going to be about Pediatric Cancer and the need to keep the awareness of this terrible disease in the public eye. My plan is to be able to interview a wide spectrum of people who all have a passion and a stake in finding a way to make the lives of these Pediatric Cancer Patients easier. I will interview oncologists, nurses, recovered patients, parents who have had to oversee their children's cancer fight, heads of Pediatric Cancer Foundations and Organizations , and others who would like to use this forum to advocate for these children.

Episode 137
Carolyn Breinich was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia just before her 14th birthday in 1994. From the beginning, Carolyn experienced many setbacks along the road to recovery including a bad experience with her resident doctor while hospitalized, a sometimes hard road after returning to school, bouts of depression, and while a Child Life Specialist, hearing that her boss thought she could not do her job properly BECAUSE she was a Pediatric Cancer survivor.
Carolyn will talk about her journey on today's podcast and the fact that she is in a good place today, a place good enough that she can honestly say that she truly loves life.
