Brainy Blonde Podcast
Cancer saved my life. Sometimes the worst news can make you look at life in a whole new way. I've been both a caregiver and now a survivor, actually an outlier, having beaten one of the deadliest cancers, so I'm here to provide hope and inspiration to all of you. We'll talk to experts, share survivor stories, reflect on the meaning of life...and have fun doing it!

7 Year Anniversary Edition for all my Brainy friends: A Deep Dive into all your Pressing Questions about Glioblastoma with the Brilliant Neurooncologist Dr. Andrea Wasilewski
Today marks the 7th anniversary of my incurable brain cancer diagnosis. To celebrate this milestone, I'm dedicating this special episode to all my brainy friends, the brain cancer thrivers and their caregivers.
I'm thrilled to introduce you to the brilliant Dr. Andrea Wasilewski. In this episode we talk with Dr. Wasilewski, a board-certified neurologist, neurooncologist, and director of the Givens Brain Tumor Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I'm so grateful to have Dr. Wasilewski as my primary neurooncologist and I know she's part of the reason I'm an outlier, alive and well seven years after a terminal cancer diagnosis. Dr. Wasilewski will discuss the pillars of health she thinks are essential to battling brain cancer, from lifestyle to food and mindset. We'll also talk about off-label drugs, homeopathic treatments, the future of cancer treatment and clinical trials.
If you are wondering if Glioblastoma is really as rare as they say or if the number of patients getting diagnosed each year is actually going up, we'll talk about that too. And the are two big takeaways here that you will not want to miss: should you get a 2nd opinion and how important is sleep.
As always, I'm here for you! Let me know wha you think of this episode.
Love you guys!
