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.

Cancer, College and Chicago (Marathon) with Tom Anderson
Today's guest is such an inspiration!! Meet Tom Anderson, M.Ed., a two time cancer survivor, two time Chicago Marathon finisher (while going through treatment), and two college degrees, working on his doctorate. Wow!!
Tom was diagnosed in 2020 with lung cancer that had metastasized to his lymphatic system. Immunotherapy was a life saver for him and he's been NED (no evidence of disease) for over 4 years.
We talk about training for and running a marathon, immunotherapy and the future of cancer research and treatment, the power of community, going back to school as an "old timer", and so much more!
This was such a fun conversation and I'm sure you'll enjoy Tom as much as I did.
