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.

Advocacy and The Financial Burden of Cancer Treatment with Lashelle Scott
Today's guest is Lashelle Scott, breast cancer survivor, advocate, and policy administrator. She champions awareness, equity, and legislation, serving as an ambassador for the Susan G. Komen Cener for Public Policy and the American Cancer Society.
We talk about healthcare and the financial burdens placed on so many, policy changes that are worth fighting for, the importance of funding for research, and so much more.
No matter what side of the political aisle you align with, the truth is that cancer treatments are expensive and something needs to change. Conversations like this are an important step, along with the work Lashelle and so many others are doing.
