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.

Liver Cancer and the Living Donor Process with Mark Morningstar
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Todays' guest is Mark Morningstar, a man with a passion for music. He's done it all, from school marching bands to Air Force Drum and Bugle Corps, to drumming in a rock band, to teaching music to high schoolers. He's also a liver cancer survivor, due to the miracle of the living liver donor program. The liver is the one organ that can regenerate and can, therefore, be donated by someone still living. Truly a miracle of modern medicine.
We talk all about the living donor program and process, becoming an advocate for organ donation, healing and taking care of your health, staying positive, and so much more.
If you're interested in being an organ donor, living or after death, check out the link below or register with your local DMV.
