The Many Faces of Cancer
As a cancer survivor and thriver, I know how important community and support are when you are facing a cancer diagnosis. That’s why I created The Many Faces of Cancer Podcast.
Each week I will be interviewing amazing people with heartfelt and inspirational stories from all sides of the cancer journey: patients, survivors and thrivers, caregivers, family and friends, and professionals. I may even throw in a bonus episode once in a while talking about things that are important to us all.
We never think it will happen to us, until it does. This podcast will be about community, knowing you’re not alone in your journey. It will also be an opportunity for people to share their stories and hopefully help others.
I hope you will all tune in. While it will be cancer stories, we all learn from others and, ultimately, these are human stories, applicable to many other areas of life.

Mentoring and Supporting Men Through Cancer with Denny Williams
Today's guest is Denny Williams, a high school athletic director and an advocate for the mental health side of cancer after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2022.
Denny needed support going through his cancer treatments and after and found that support for men was difficult to find. He did find an organization called Friend For Life Support Network https://www.friend4life.org/ that helped tremendously! It started him on his road to recovery and his advocacy for other men navigating cancer.
We talk about other organizations for support like Epic Experience https://www.epicexperience.org/ and Man Up To Cancer https://manuptocancer.org/, the importance of male support groups, coping with life after treatment, and so much more!!
Make sure the men in your life listen to this episode! We don't have to go through this alone!!
