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.

Solo Episode - Survivorship - Now What?
Welcome to another solo episode. This topic has come up several times with guests and I wanted to do a whole episode on it because it's that important and it's not talked about enough.
Some say survivorship starts as soon as you are diagnosed. I think it should be defined as everything that happens after the end of active treatment. Sounds like what we all want, right? Treatment done, no evidence of disease, back to normal life. Unfortunately, it's often not that simple. It can be very emotional and not necessarily in a good way. Let's discuss...
This episode is for everyone! I talk to people going through active treatment right now, those who have finished active treatment and may be experiencing this emotional roller coaster, and caregivers/family/friends.
We talk a lot about normalizing cancer and treatment. We need to normalize the emotions of survivorship as well.
And the podcast is almost a year old!!! The first episode launched on March 5, 2024. Happy Anniversary to The Many Faces of Cancer!!! I want to kick things up a notch for year 2, so I need to hear from you! What do you want to hear? How can I make this podcast even better for all of you?
