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.

The Importance of Imerman Angels Mentors Throughout a Cancer Journey with Jackie Herigodt
Today's guest is Jackie Herigodt, Director of Partnerships and Engagement for Imerman Angels, an organization that provides comfort and understanding for all cancer fighters, survivors, previvors and caregivers through a personalized, one-on-one connection with someone who has been there. This is a personal mission for her, as she has cared for several loved ones facing cancer, as well as her own battle with skin cancer.
We talk about community and support, talking with people who have been through the same experiences, being a mentor for others, support for caregivers, the mission of Imerman Angels, and so much more!!
Imerman Angels is such a needed organization, whether you're a patient, survivor, previvor, or cargiver. The mentor and mentee both benefit from this connection.
