Cancer Out Loud: The CancerCare Podcast - New Episodes

Mental Health Means Being Human - Episode 3

Listen to our podcast on the importance of mental health. Sarah Paul, our Director of Clinical Programs, and Marissa Fors, Director of Specialized Programs, discuss mental health awareness, the stigma of seeking support, navigating care and finding the courage to reach out and ask for help. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health - it’s never too late to get support.

The Power of Hope - Episode 4
 
In July 2003, Shannan was diagnosed with a grade 2 glioma at the age of 31. Listen in as Shannan shares how she navigated multiple surgeries and a number of treatments following her diagnosis. Approaching her 19 year "cancerversary," Shannan speaks with Charlotte Ference, a CancerCare oncology social worker, about how she found support, coped with treatment side effects, raised her daughter and found hope.
CancerCare's Biomarkers 101

Information about biomarkers is often inconsistent in the oncology community. Because biomarker testing (also known as "genetic testing" or "molecular testing") is used across many tumor types for different purposes, it is difficult for patients and loved ones to find in-depth information about how biomarker testing is relevant to them. It is important that individuals with cancer understand how biomarker testing works and its benefits.

Biomarkers 101 will provide a comprehensive, easy-to-access educational discussion that people with cancer and their loved ones can turn to for information on the role of biomarkers in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
