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.

Finding Her Passion as a Cancer Exercise Trainer after Breast Cancer with Lisa Walther
Today's guest is Lisa Walther, a Certified Cancer Exercise Trainer and a two-time breast cancer survivor. She's also the creator of Move4Life, a wellness program for people on a cancer journey from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.
Lisa is speaking my language!! We talk all about the importance of exercise and fitness for overall health, but especially when going through cancer. Why we should exercise for prevention, how exercise can help with symptoms and side effects of treatments, and how vital it is during survivorship.
This is a topic that can't be talked about enough. Movement is life. Movement is medicine. We can all be healthier by adding more movement to our lives.
