Podcasts about brain cancer

Brain cancers are rare, but devastating. Patients face short life expectancies after diagnosis. Brain tumors are often impossible to remove completely. And radiation and chemotherapy don't always stop them from spreading.  It's a daunting class of disease to study, but that didn't dissuade Michelle Monje from trying. She has spent two decades studying how brain tumors form and interact with healthy brain cells, and pioneered the field of cancer neuroscience.  Guest: Dr. Michelle Monje is a professor of pediatric neuro-oncology at Stanford Medicine.  Other episodes you may enjoy: Promising new treatments for pancreatic cancer and ALS The new frontier of cancer research is in space Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Grace Fulcher was 16 years old in 2015 when she began to complain about double vision. Her double vision led to a diagnosis of a non curable Pediatric Brain Tumor known as an Anaplastic Astrocytoma. Grace was given 3 years to live and she did her very best in trying to make those 3 years meaningful. Grace continued with her high school studies, being a member of the National Honor Society for 3 years, and graduating Summa Cum Laude with a 4.4 Grade Point average. Because of the acceleration of her brain cancer, Grace went to college for only her first semester of freshman year in which she hoped to become involved in Neo Natal care. Grace passed away at the age of 19 on October 24th of 2018.

Allie Andres always ended her notes and letters with the words, "Don't worry about me. I'll see you soon."  Because of her faith in Jesus, Allie knew that death was not the end of her story. She would see her loved ones again.(If you missed the first half of my conversation with Dan & Melissa, click HERE to listen!)  In this second half of our conversation, Dan and Melissa Andres share what life has been like during the first eighteen months since Allie's homegoing. They speak candidly about the loneliness, the unexpected challenges of the second year of grief, and the daily choice to trust the God who has faithfully carried them through every step of this journey.Together, we talk about learning to grieve as husband and wife, navigating holidays and milestones, returning to church, the healing gift of music, and the eternal perspective that allows them to keep moving forward ... not because they've left Allie behind, but because they're one day closer to seeing her again.Perhaps most importantly, Dan and Melissa offer gentle, biblical encouragement for parents who are just beginning this road, reminding us that our hope is not found in the absence of sorrow, but in the certainty of Christ and the promise of Heaven.For the grieving parent, "I'll see you soon" is more than a comforting phrase. It is the promise of the gospel. Because Jesus conquered death, our separation is only temporary. The reunion is coming.I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

"Don't worry about me. I'll see you soon."  ~ AllieWhen sixteen-year-old Allie Andres was diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma (DMG), an aggressive and incurable pediatric brain cancer, her family was suddenly faced with every parent's worst nightmare.

"Creativity has its own frequency, its own energy, and it's meant to be experienced in the present moment." — Ania VoloviqueThis episode is your invitation to trust yourself more deeply, soften into the present moment, and make space for creativity to move through you. I'm joined by brand oracle and somatic photographer Ania Volovique for a conversation about intuition, creativity, somatic healing, and the life-changing lessons she learned through her experience with brain cancer.Ania believes creativity isn't something you either have or don't have, it's a living energy that wants to move uniquely through each of us. Rather than forcing ideas into existence or following someone else's blueprint, she invites us to become deeply present, trusting that inspiration arrives when we create enough space to receive it, just like her upcoming trip to Paris.We also dive into Ania's unique approach to somatic photography and coaching. Whether she's photographing a brand, guiding a client through a somatic practice, or holding space in a mentorship session, her process begins with presence. She shares how paying attention to body language, energy, and listening to her intuition allows her to co-create with each client.Ania shares her story of navigating a brain cancer diagnosis. Rather than resisting, she chose surrender. She shaved her head, created a beach photo shoot, and leaned into creativity as part of her healing process. Through that journey, she discovered that our greatest challenges can become profound invitations to reconnect with ourselves, trust life more deeply, and find freedom even in uncertainty.This conversation is a beautiful reminder that creativity flows when we soften our grip, trust our intuition, and create spaciousness for something greater to move through us. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, moving through creative blocks, building a business, or longing to reconnect with yourself, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, inspired, and open to what's possible.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform while you cook, clean, or create.

Dave Temkin notes, "My work is rooted in the fact that each of us already holds the capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Sometimes, life experiences—stress, trauma, loss, or transitions—can make that harder to access. My role is to help you reconnect with those inner strengths. Your True Self can be uncovered using therapy combined with ancient healing wisdom. Oftentimes, clients talk to a therapist for years. When they enter my office, I always ask what tools they have learned. Sadly, few have them. I listen, but I also teach skills that you can use every day to achieve and maintain balance.

What happens when you have to grieve the person you love before they've even gone?This week I'm joined by Holly Matthews. Holly is a former actress, TEDx speaker, founder of The Happy Me Project, and was widowed at just 32 when her husband Ross died from grade four brain cancer, leaving her to raise their two young daughters alone.But before any of that, there was a Pimm's promotional job, an instant connection, and a love story that moved at lightning speed. Holly and Ross built a relationship full of adventure, brutal honesty and the kind of laughter that makes two people feel like they're speaking a language nobody else understands.Then came headaches. Anxiety. Focal seizures that were dismissed as panic attacks. Until one scan changed everything.Holly talks candidly about anticipatory grief, watching the person you love slowly disappear while they're still alive, and the impossible conflict of desperately wanting more time while also wanting their suffering to end.We also discuss what good healthcare communication looks like, why Holly later stood in front of a room full of brain surgeons to tell them exactly where they were getting it wrong, and how a single compassionate doctor made all the difference.As always, we don't shy away from the harder conversations. Holly shares what it was like preparing two little girls for the death of their dad, why she chose honesty over euphemisms, and the practical ways she's helped them navigate grief ever since.This is a conversation about love, truth, parenting, neurodivergence, identity, and what it really means to live fully when you've learned just how fragile life is.In this episode we cover:• Falling in love almost instantly and trusting your instincts, even when everyone else thinks you're making a mistake.• The symptoms that were repeatedly dismissed before Ross's brain tumour was finally discovered.• Anticipatory grief and losing someone long before they physically die.• Hospice life, dark humour, and navigating the final weeks together.• Why the way doctors deliver devastating news matters so much.• Raising bereaved children with honesty, curiosity and space to ask every question.• Neurodivergence, masking and building a life that feels authentic after loss.

When you think of ultrasounds, you probably think of sonograms, pregnancy, mammograms, and gynecology. At least I do! I never would have associated ultrasound with brain cancer-until now. Our guest today, Dr. Vijay Agarwal, CEO of Alpheus Medical, has developed an investigational therapy that pairs a tumor-accumulating drug with low-intensity ultrasound to achieve localized activation inside the brain — an approach sometimes referred to as sonodynamic therapy (SDT). After the drug has accumulated, the Alpheus LIDU® system delivers low-intensity, diffuse ultrasound across the affected brain hemisphere. Dr. Agarwal discusses with me why this technology pairs so well with treating brain cancer. He stresses the importance for more innovative ways to treat brain cancer, and why funding is so crucial to work of many companies like his. More importantly, he sheds light on his passion for this work and his hope for the future.   Watch the video of this episode on our YouTube channel.   Premier sponsors: GammaTile Therapy Curtana Pharmaceuticals

David Pollack was a first-round NFL draft pick living his childhood dream when a broken neck in his second season ended everything — and he says it was the best thing that ever happened to his faith. The forced stillness he'd never allowed himself finally let him hear from God. Then in 2025, his wife Lindsay was diagnosed with brain cancer, and Pollack discovered that watching someone you love suffer is a completely different test than suffering yourself. He joins Brian From to talk about his new book Every Day Counts, what football taught him about failing forward in faith, and the three R's — reflect, repent, repurpose — that transformed his prayer life from awkward obligation to actual conversation. He also makes a point that lands hard: you have to be selfish in the morning so you can be selfless the rest of the day. If God matters, get up earlier. Plus a college football bonus — David weighs in on Michigan, Illinois, Bryce Underwood, and what he's watching heading into the season. A genuinely fun, genuinely convicting hour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Connor McCrossan and his mother Tammy share their experience with Connor's brain tumour diagnosis, treatment decisions, and recovery — with a focus on cannabis as a therapeutic alternative. Connor began experiencing minor headaches and fatigue in late 2023 before travelling to Thailand in January 2024, initially managing symptoms with paracetamol without informing anyone. Symptoms worsened significantly in Chiang Mai by mid-February 2024 — severe dizziness, imbalance, violent morning sickness, and migraines — which a local Thai hospital attributed to a virus and treated with anti-dizziness medication. Connor flew home after instinct told him something was seriously wrong, enduring an 18-hour journey via Hong Kong to Manchester without disclosing the severity of his condition to Tammy. Back in the UK, Connor was repeatedly sent home by doctors despite continuous vomiting, inability to keep fluids down, and deteriorating condition over eight days. Tammy and her sister pushed persistently for an MRI scan, which hospital staff initially refused, attributing symptoms to an infectious disease in an otherwise fit 23-year-old. A partial MRI scan — completed before Connor had to press the emergency button due to projectile vomiting — revealed an abnormality, leading to a midnight transfer to neurology. Connor was told alone at 23, at midnight, that a large mass had been found on the rear of his brain; the diagnosis was later confirmed as a grade 4 medulloblastoma, a rare and aggressive tumour not seen at Preston Hospital in 14–15 years. A nine-hour surgery successfully removed the tumour, with symptoms largely vanishing within days post-operation; Connor was discharged approximately one week later. On receiving the confirmed cancer diagnosis, Connor adopted a determined mindset — responding to the neurologist's "you're not out of the woods yet" with "yes I am, because it had me against the ropes and now it's my turn." Connor declined chemotherapy due to the risk of developing leukaemia and other severe side effects, opting instead for proton beam therapy at The Christie in Manchester alongside a cannabis-based protocol. Tammy researched and introduced a cannabis suppository protocol — half a gram in the morning, half a gram at night — sourced through Corey Yelland's network, later supplemented with oral CBD and THC tinctures. Cannabis also helped Tammy manage severe anxiety developed during Connor's illness; she later identified PTSD symptoms that emerged after Connor received multiple clear scans. Connor is now fully recovered — driving, working full-time, boxing training, and completing multiple 10K runs — with little to no lasting side effects, now on six consecutive clear scans. Connor advocates strongly for cannabis as a cancer treatment, arguing patients have everything to gain and nothing to lose, and calling for its legalisation as a therapeutic option.

Open burn pits were used in many conflicts including Iraq and Afghanistan, where there wasn't infrastructure to deal with the large amounts of waste created by military operations. In the US, a long list of conditions are automatically considered to be related to burn pit exposure, including several cancers and respiratory issues. But here in New Zealand none of those conditions have been accepted as service-related, until now. Luka Forman has more.

Sophie Smith thought she was about to become a mother to three baby boys. Instead, after going into premature labour halfway through her pregnancy, she and her husband Ash found themselves facing unimaginable heartbreak. Over the course of 82 days, they lost all three of their triplets; Henry, Evan and Jasper. In this deeply moving conversation with Kate Langbroek, Sophie speaks about those months of hope and heartbreak, the grief that followed, and the extraordinary way she and Ash channelled that pain into purpose by founding Running for Premature Babies — a charity that has since helped save the lives of thousands of premature babies across Australia. Sophie also opens up about the second devastating loss that would change her life forever: losing Ash to brain cancer in 2016, after years of treatment and remission, and what it meant to continue raising their two young sons while carrying such enormous grief. This episode is about motherhood, resilience, love, loss, and the ways we learn to keep going even after life turns out nothing like we imagined.

*Testosterone Directly Suppresses Brain Tumor Growth in Males by 38% Cleveland Clinic research funded by NIH shows testosterone binds androgen receptors in glioblastoma stem cells — the root of tumor recurrence — and cuts growth by 38% when levels are restored. Dave breaks down why the mainstream framing of testosterone and cancer risk has it backwards, what androgen deprivation therapy may be doing to every other cancer pathway simultaneously, and why your hormone panel is now a cancer conversation, not just a performance one.

Dave explains exactly what to do if you or a pet is exposed, why outdoor biohackers are the most exposed population, and what pre-travel prevention looks like for anyone heading to endemic regions.

Dave sets aside the moral debate to focus on what this legal precedent means for FDA-approved compounded peptides, bioidentical hormones, and telehealth access to any treatment without full pharmaceutical backing — and why this case is one every biohacker should be tracking closely.

Dave covers why the conditions producing these jumps aren't going away, what the Influenza D finding means for the raw milk conversation right now, and the mucosal immunity stack that puts you in the strongest position regardless of which virus makes the leap next.

Dave cuts through the pandemic panic to explain why American and South American hantavirus strains are categorically more lethal than European ones, why Andes is the only strain on earth that spreads human to human via respiratory droplets, and what early symptom recognition could mean for your survival window if exposure reaches your community.

Can a needle and thread mend more than fabric? Ceramic artist Leah Jensen joins Grant Gibson to discuss the radical pivot in her practice after a brain cancer diagnosis — and how stitching became a daily act of survival, documentation and repair.In this episode, we explore making as medicine and the quiet power of slow, analogue craft. We discuss:Renaissance Patterns: The unexpected art-historical roots of Leah's intricate, geometric ceramic surfaces.'Anti-Digital' Making: Why she rejects screens and software in favour of the hand, the eye, and the hour-long stitch.The Brain Tumour Book: How embroidery became a diary of diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy — exhibited this April at London's Fitzrovia Chapel with Cavaliero Finn.'Sewing is an act of emotional repair': Using thread — and her own hair — to process trauma, memory loss and identity.Return to Clay: Re-entering the ceramic studio after illness, and how the two mediums now speak to each other.Leah also reflects on collapsing behind a bar in the moment that changed everything, the role of her parents and partner in her recovery, and what making has taught her about being present.You can support The Brain Tumour Charity via the Brain Tumour Book fundraising page: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/braintumourbookcharityfundraisingexhibitionExplore more: Visit materialmatters.design for more on our fairs and conferences.Support the show

This Foundation focuses on helping families with financial assistance as well as focusing on raising money to award Grants to researchers who are trying to help solve the many issues that are involved with Pediatric Brain Cancer.  This Foundation has now awarded over 100 Grants to researchers in the United States and Canada. 

Why is brain cancer so hard to detect and treat - and what if we could change that? In this episode of Rx for Biotech, host Chris Leidli sits down with Marc Hedrick, CEO of Plus Therapeutics, and Russell Bradley, General Manager of CNSide Diagnostics, to explore a new, integrated approach to treating some of the most challenging cancers in medicine: central nervous system (CNS) cancers, including glioblastoma and leptomeningeal metastases. Brain and CNS cancers are among the most difficult to treat because of the blood-brain barrier, which prevents most drugs from reaching tumors. In fact, only a small percentage of therapies can effectively cross into the brain—limiting treatment options and outcomes. Plus Therapeutics is tackling this problem with a novel approach using targeted radiation therapy delivered directly to tumors, bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Their lead program uses a radioactive isotope (rhenium-186) delivered via nanoliposomes, allowing high doses of radiation to reach the tumor while minimizing damage to the rest of the body. At the same time, CNSide Diagnostics is helping physicians detect cancer earlier and monitor treatment response using an advanced cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diagnostic test. This highly sensitive test can identify even small numbers of tumor cells—helping doctors make faster, more informed treatment decisions. Together, this combination of diagnostics + therapeutics + data represents a new model for precision oncology and personalized cancer care. In this episode, we discuss: • Why brain cancer is so difficult to treat • The role of the blood-brain barrier in limiting therapies • How targeted radiation therapy can improve outcomes • The importance of early detection and diagnostics • How monitoring tumor cells can guide treatment decisions • The future of integrated cancer care (theranostics) This conversation offers a powerful look at how innovation in both treatment and diagnostics could help improve survival and quality of life for patients with some of the most aggressive cancers.

  Lynn's oncologist, initially dismissive of cannabis oil, shifted his position after her results — telling her "keep doing what you're doing" and suggesting they had considered a misdiagnosis before confirming the original diagnosis was correct. Diagnosed at 44 with glioblastoma multiforme and given 6–18 months to live, Lynn is now approaching 57 — a remarkable survival given the ~17% two-year survival rate for this cancer type. Chemo and radiotherapy were completed first — six weeks of concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, a six-week break, then oral chemotherapy — before cannabis oil was introduced. Residual effects from treatment include short-term memory problems and poor balance; hearing loss in the right ear (cancer side) was recently resolved by wax removal, which dramatically improved hearing. CBD oil was used during treatment, with full cannabis oil added approximately six weeks after completing conventional therapy. Maintenance dosing consists of two glycerine capsules of cannabis oil in coconut oil taken nightly, producing restful sleep without a pronounced high — described as a mellow, calming effect. Scotland's continued illegality of cannabis was noted, with Lynn expressing optimism that Scottish independence could bring significant policy change. Lynn continues to be contacted by others with the same diagnosis and advises them to do their own research, take supplements, and not simply replicate her exact approach. Diet was significantly changed post-diagnosis: only home-cooked, organic food from a local farm shop, eliminating processed and ultra-processed foods entirely. The journey prompted a deeper spiritual outlook, greater tolerance, gratitude for small things, and a new prayer practice — a transformation Lynn attributes partly to cannabis. If given the choice again, Lynn would not undergo chemo or radiotherapy, citing post-treatment research into its limitations — a view echoed by most guests Ian has interviewed. Cannabis is framed as effective prophylactic medicine that promotes homeostasis, not just a last-resort treatment for serious diagnoses.

  Diagnosed at 34 as a highly active police officer with above-average vision and hand-eye coordination, Jason's condition was especially rare as it typically affects the elderly, organ transplant recipients, or those with AIDS/HIV. Cancer spread to the optic nerve destroyed one eye, which was removed via evisceration last year; a hand-painted prosthetic now tracks the remaining eye, and Jason reports being completely pain-free post-removal. Whole-brain radiation was firmly refused due to the risk of permanent cognitive and personality changes; targeted eye radiation (17 of 24 planned treatments) achieved remission instead. Fifth relapse in 2018 involved six brain lesions including one on the brain stem, a grand mal seizure lasting over five hours, and an inability to walk — Jason drove himself to the hospital and fell in the parking lot before receiving care. Radical lifestyle change followed the fifth relapse: eliminated alcohol, switched to organic produce, wild-harvested venison, exercise, yoga, meditation, and brain-training exercises. Cannabis oil use — oral, suppository, and vaping — is credited with reducing tumor spots on the left tricep within two months (spots were gone before conventional treatment began) and with providing neuroprotection against treatment-related brain damage. Doctors and medical staff were consistently unwilling to discuss cannabis on record, citing protocol restrictions and job security concerns, despite acknowledging Jason's survival as medically baffling. Autologous stem cell transplant at Memorial Sloan Kettering New York was selected as the treatment for the fifth relapse; the procedure involves harvesting stem cells via centrifuge, freezing them, then reinfusing after eight days of high-dose chemotherapy. Jason's stem cell "rebirth day" coincided with his actual birthday (April 24th), Easter, and spring — an alignment no medical facility he asked had ever encountered before. Brain cancer's invisible long-term deficits — poor memory, balance issues, loss of depth perception, declining night vision, and seizure-related damage — are widely misunderstood; people assume remission means full recovery. Cannabis is considered neuroprotective by Jason; a single hit of a joint provided significant pain relief after eye removal when prescribed medications failed entirely. Growing up near a toxic landfill is identified as a likely environmental cause of the cancer cluster in his community, including his own brain cancer, his mother's fatal colon cancer at 56, and two miscarriages. Key advice for cancer patients: eliminate sugar and alcohol, prioritize high-quality food, maintain a positive mindset, cut out negative media, and seek community support — diet and mental state are the first areas Jason addresses when contacted by newly diagnosed individuals. Jason is developing a public speaking career and has two books in progress: Memoirs of Murray Road and Fifth Time's the Charm: The Remarkable Story of a Five-Time Terminal Brain Cancer Survivor.

New research from Yale shows that aging doesn't have to result in mental and physical decline. In fact, they found that nearly half of older adults actually improved in cognitive or physical ability over a 12-year period. Dr Graham Easton, a family doctor, discusses what this can teach us about what we can and can't control when it comes to aging.Brain tumours can be notoriously difficult to treat because many therapeutic drugs are not allowed through the blood-brain barrier – an extremely selective system that controls access in and out of the brain. Now, researchers at the University of Southern California have shown that laser-induced tumour heating can open blood-brain barrier, improving the effectiveness of immunotherapy in brain cancer.Erica Benke reports from Finland, where the Winter Swimming World Cup is underway, looking at why winter swimming is growing in popularity and what researchers say about its real health effects and risks. A once‑rare form of organ donation is now transforming transplant care in the U.S and other countries, offering hope to thousands on waiting lists. These new techniques are allowing doctors to keep organs in good condition for longer, even after the donor's heart has stopped beating. Plus, researchers in Hungary are training AI to better identify mosquitos by their sound, with hopes to accurately monitor populations of the deadliest animal on Earth.
