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 Many Faces of Cancer
From Colorectal Cancer Patient to Advocate with Tim McDonald

Today's guest is Tim McDonald, author, healthcare advocate, speaker, and community builder who turned his stage IV colorectal cancer diagnosis into a mission for change. He was also the first metastatic colorectal cancer patient to receive a transplant from an altruistic donor, rather than a directed donor. Tim uses storytelling and advocacy to raise awareness and drive impact through his podcast Advocacy at Work, and his brand new book, From Patient to Advocate.
We talk about liver transplants, living and deceased donors, directed and altruistic donors, advocacy and awareness, both at the local and national levels, the importance of vulnerability during this journey, and so much more!!
I'm happy to share this great story during the month of March, Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
