In this episode we are joined by a panel of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors who have a meaningful conversation about reclaiming your life after cancer.
Guest Topics Include:
- How has your cancer diagnosis changed the way you look at your life and the path you thought you were on?
- Reclaiming your life isn’t always about the big things — what smaller, everyday moments did you struggle with during treatment and look forward to enjoying again?
- How does becoming a caregiver yourself change your understanding of what your own caregivers did for you?
- How did reclaiming your life open up a whole new perspective — even leading to starting a business?
- As a healthcare provider who became the patient, what are you nervous and excited about as you return to work?
- A reflection through music: the story behind Andrew Marshall’s unreleased song “All Yours,” featuring an exclusive performance.
- What would you say to listeners who are just starting to reclaim their life after cancer?
Discussion with our Key Opinion Leader:
- Why is it important to understand how the “new you” may feel after a cancer diagnosis?
- Survivors sometimes feel they are not “doing enough” and pressure to manage more than they may be capable of. What are some small steps they can take to keep moving forward?
- When survivors look at social media, they may compare their own progression to others. How can our listeners be reminded that every path is different and however you feel is OK?
- Can the survivor community on social media also be a place to find solace and support?
- What are some resources you recommend for our audience that may be looking for support?
