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.

Challenges of Rare Cancers - Ocular Melanoma with Tessa Parry-Wingfield
Today's guest is Tessa Parry-Wingfield, global communications consultant, public speaker, and survivor of ocular melanoma, a very rare form of eye cancer that affects about 6 people per million annually. She has found purpose in her adversity and ironically "sees life clearly" despite her vision issues.
We talk about learning to live with a prosthetic eye and monocular vision, the challenges of rare cancers, eye and vision health (see your eye doctor regularly), finding purpose and clarity post diagnosis, and so much more!
