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.

Don't Sit on Symptoms with Peter Coolbaugh
Today's guest is Peter Coolbaugh, an avid baseball fan, cat dad, and survivor of both stage 5 kidney failure and stage 3 Multiple Myeloma. He started out with back pain and it took several weeks before someone finally did bloodwork and a diagnosis could be made.
Peter's story is incredible, with all he went through for over a year, from alternating days of kidney dialysis and chemotherapy, fighting two diseases at once, to a stem cell transplant and subsequent skin cancer. In remission now, Peter has a new lease on life. What a story of perseverance and resilience!
