Podcasts about cancer diagnosis

Today we're giving you a first look inside our brand-new Patreon-exclusive Mailbag series — and this one's powerful. A listener, a single mom of a toddler, just received a cancer diagnosis. She reached out with urgent questions about how to manage her finances during treatment: Are cancer insurance payouts taxable? Should she prioritize paying off IRS debt or building savings? How can she prepare for unpaid leave while focusing on recovery? Jean and Kathryn dig into it all,  from the tax treatment of cancer insurance to how to protect your money when life takes an unexpected turn. This episode is a preview of what's waiting for you when you subscribe to our new HerMoney Patreon, where you'll find: ✨ Deep-dive mailbags with Jean and Kathryn

What happens when two people face cancer together… with completely opposite coping styles? In today's episode, Jen and Darren get honest (and a little hilarious) about how they navigated breast cancer and brain cancer — one through research and planning, the other through humor and distraction. You'll hear: ✨ How each of us reacted in those first terrifying days ✨ The strengths AND pitfalls of our styles ✨ Why there is no one "right" way to deal with trauma We hope this conversation reminds you that love doesn't require matching emotions — just mutual respect and a willingness to show up, even when fear shows up differently. Because if there's one thing we've learned, it's this: There is no perfect way to cope with cancer… there's only your way.

Send us a textLive from Pathology Visions 2025 in beautiful San Diego, I sat down with Imogen Fitt from Signify Research to explore how AI, digital pathology, and interoperability are transforming the way we diagnose cancer and deliver patient care.The conference theme, “From Pixels to Patients,” perfectly captures this year's shift — from theoretical discussions about AI to real-world implementation and measurable outcomes.We're no longer just asking “what can AI do?” — we're seeing how it's actually improving accuracy, reducing barriers, and connecting pathologists and labs worldwide.What We Discuss1️⃣ From Hype to Application This year, the buzz wasn't about AI's potential — it was about how it's being used. We highlight case studies showing how digital tools are reducing diagnostic errors, improving collaboration, and even helping smaller labs digitize faster and more affordably.2️⃣ PathPresenter's Expanding Role We dive into PathPresenter's innovative model that gives users access to digital pathology at no initial cost, opening the door for over 75,000 professionals across 62 institutions. I share why I personally use PathPresenter for teaching and how it's helping lower the barrier to entry for education, consultations, and patient care.3️⃣ New Scanning Technology and Accessibility We talk about compact scanners like Grundium's four-slide scanner and new miniature models that make digitization possible even in smaller labs. The message is clear: you don't need a massive system to start going digital.4️⃣ Collaboration and AI in Action Imogen shares updates from across Europe and Asia, including how hospitals are tackling storage, AI regulation, and workflow efficiency. We discuss emerging partnerships—Fujifilm, Voicebrook, Dolby, and others—that are making voice dictation, chat agents, and real-time AI insights part of the modern pathology cockpit.5️⃣ The Human Side of AI Adoption We also reflect on how digital pathology is changing careers and training. Younger pathologists expect digital tools as part of their workflow — and many won't settle for less. We discuss how this new generation is driving adoption and pushing institutions to modernize.My ReflectionsI still remember when digital pathology felt intimidating — when only a few people were “allowed” to touch the scanner. But today, that's changed completely.Now, we're living in an era where AI and digital pathology are not optional — they're essential. The technology has matured, and so has the mindset around it. What excites me most is seeing how collaboration and accessibility are becoming central to innovation.Key TakeawaysAI in pathology is moving from hype to practice — focused on improving patient outcomes.Accessibility matters: smaller, affordable scanners and open platforms are democratizing digital pathology.Collaboration between vendors, clinicians, and technologists is key to faster, smoother adoption.The next generation of pathologists expects — and demands — a digital-first workflow.Listen Now to Learn:How AI is reshaping cancer diagnosisThe tools driving real change in labs todayHow collaboration fuels digital transformation in pathologySupport the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Dr. Rachel Pope explains how her sister's cancer diagnosis and a patient in Malawi asking "can you fix my vagina" opened her eyes to the massive gap in sexual health education within gynecology. As a fistula repair surgeon working in Sub-Saharan Africa for four years, Dr. Pope realized that even after successfully repairing bladder leaks, many patients couldn't have intercourse due to vaginal scar tissue yet providers never asked about sexual function. Meanwhile, her sister battling cancer was asking basic questions about intimacy that Dr. Pope, despite all her training and a fellowship, couldn't answer.These twin revelations led Dr. Pope to pursue sexual medicine education and eventually building Cleveland's first female sexual health division that spans multiple departments. Her unique background in global women's health, fistula repair, and reconstructive gynecology informs her holistic approach to sexual medicine and menopause care.The conversation also explores Dr. Pope's current research focus on perimenopause and cardiovascular health, believing this critical 10-year window before menopause holds the key to prevention rather than just treatment. She shares her proactive approach to her own perimenopause, including checking baseline testosterone levels at peak ovulation to guide future hormone therapy decisions.Highlights:Sexual function should be assessed after every pelvic surgery, not just assumedObstetric fistulas are still happening globally but were eliminated in the US once C-sections became accessible.Building a sexual medicine division works best when spanning multiple departments for true biopsychosocial care.The fellowship program accepts both urology and OBGYN applicants, with only two OBGYN programs in the country.Her work continues in Africa doing shorter trips and training local surgeons.If this episode inspired you to think differently about international women's health and sexual medicine education, help others discover this conversation by subscribing and leaving a review. Your reviews help more clinicians and patients find these discussions about comprehensive sexual health care.Connect with Dr. Pope:WebsiteInstagramXConnect with me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

It is a hard fact of life that — if we live long enough — we or those we love will receive a devastating medical diagnosis.

On May 28, 2013, Jocelyn Rasmussen woke up and realized, with profound clarity, that she had cancer. This was later confirmed by a doctor, after which Jocelyn was told she had a small chance of survival. Today, Jocelyn is a cancer survivor for 12 years and living a life of love, adventure and music.  During her treatment, Jocelyn began speaking with other patients with life-threatening illnesses about hope and healing, a message she brings to her memoir, “This Day Won't Come Again: Radical Presence and Life-Threatening Illness.” In this episode, Jocelyn recounts that fateful day and what went through her mind after receiving the diagnosis. She talks about the choice to go into treatment, and how she managed the days that followed. Jocelyn speaks on her meetings with other patients and the person that recommended she publish a book, as well as how she built on what had already been done. She explains the message of living “into the best and worst of all that arises when the possibility of our own mortality seems sooner rather than later.”   

As a personal trainer and wellness coach, Stacey Garcia was doing everything right.  She ate well, exercised, and took great care of herself.  That's why her cancer diagnosis came as an extra shock, and in this episode, she explains how she dealt with this news and found strength and resilience as she battled her disease.  Now in recovery, Stacey helps guide others through similar challenges both in her daily work as well as her podcast Never Miss a Monday.    Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Stacey Garcia  Bill Burke introduces Stacey Garcia, host of ‘Never Miss a Monday' podcast.  02:15 Stacey's Background and Career  Stacey discusses her career path, from being a third-generation dancer to becoming a personal trainer and integrative health coach.   05:12 Cancer Diagnosis and Reiki  Stacey recounts the shocking diagnosis of cancer despite her healthy lifestyle, triggered by a nightmare.

She explains how her cancer diagnosis pivoted the podcast's focus to survivorship and mindset, featuring inspiring stories from various survivors.  13:59 Embracing Mondays for Success  Stacey elaborates on her ‘Never Miss a Monday' philosophy, advocating for intentional Sunday self-care to ensure a strong start to the week.   16:49 Communicating the Diagnosis to Children  Stacey shares the challenging experience of telling her young children about her cancer diagnosis, highlighting the importance of honesty and age-appropriate information.   19:50 Silver Linings and Community Support  Stacey reflects on the silver linings of her cancer journey, including developing deep gratitude, a shift in perspective, and discovering the power of community. She highlights how her experience inspired her to use her recovery as a gift to support and educate others through her podcast.  23:46 Survivor's Guilt and Podcast Impact  Stacey addresses the complexities of ‘survivor's guilt' and how her early diagnosis motivated her to give back to the cancer community. She details her podcast's mission to educate and empower, featuring diverse guests who embody a survivorship and empowerment mindset.  28:39 Optimism, Meaning, and Future Focus  Stacey discusses optimism as a choice and a daily practice, aligning with Viktor Frankl's ‘Man's Search for Meaning' by focusing on what's ahead. She emphasizes that challenges are temporary, and maintaining a forward-looking mindset is crucial for overcoming adversity.  33:00 Dealing with Relapse and Self-Advocacy  Stacey shares her decision to pursue an alternative route for cancer reoccurrence prevention, prioritizing quality of life over conventional treatment. She underscores the critical importance of stress management, self-advocacy in healthcare, and early detection, especially for women with dense breast tissue.  39:30 Gratitude and Medical Advancements  Stacey emphasizes that gratitude feeds optimism, encouraging appreciation for past blessings and current advancements in medicine and technology. She highlights the importance of leveraging resources like remote Reiki and continuous learning for well-being.  41:19 Nature's Healing Power and Sunday Prep  Stacey advocates for ‘forest bathing' and connecting with nature for cell regeneration and joy, recalling the concept of ‘nature deficit disorder.'   46:20 The ‘Get To' Mindset and Conclusion  Stacey champions the ‘get to' versus ‘have to' mindset, transforming daily tasks into acts of gratitude and self-love.

What happens when two women who've both faced cancer sit down and share the raw truth about their journeys? In this episode, I open up about my own diagnosis of uterine cancer and the difficult decisions that followed—while my guest, Jen Delvaux, shares her experience navigating breast cancer, alongside supporting her husband through brain cancer. Together, we unpack the realities of life after diagnosis, the emotional rollercoaster of treatment, and how fear, stress, and mindset play a powerful role in healing. We dive into the controversial questions every cancer patient wrestles with: Should you remove organs at the first warning sign? What about alternative therapies? How do you decide on hormones after a hormone-positive cancer diagnosis? And can biohacks like red light therapy, oxygen training, and even nicotine patches or ivermectin really make a difference? This is a conversation about resilience, self-trust, and learning to live without fear. Whether you've personally faced cancer, love someone who has, or simply want to understand how to protect your health while still living fully, this episode will challenge the way you think about healing and prevention.

Why I Raised My Estrogen After Cancer I'm breaking down what really happens when estrogen drops, and why I chose to increase mine after a cancer diagnosis instead of avoiding it. I share my own experience with low estrogen, from skin changes to brain fog and libido loss, and explain the difference between rhythmic and steady dosing. You'll hear why estrogen isn't the enemy, how it can be one of the most powerful tools for health and longevity, and what you need to know to optimize metabolism and avoid the crash that happens when levels plummet. If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause and want a personalized approach instead of one-size-fits-all advice, this conversation will give you the clarity and direction you need.

In this episode, Adam kicks off the show with a surprisingly deep dive into the symbolism and social dynamics of sandwich-making, unpacking how something so simple says a lot about parenting, care, and culture. He then calls out Dr. Drew's notoriously bad bedside manners and rants about people who constantly unload their health issues on him. Later, Adam takes aim at a bizarre Jardiance commercial, tearing into its absurd list of side effects.In the news, Adam reacts to President Biden's first comments after a recent cancer diagnosis and his attempt at humor regarding his mental competency. He questions whether Democrats prioritize gun control over illegal immigration, shares his thoughts on the recent Boulder, Colorado terror attack, and breaks down how mass immigration can influence culture.Finally, Mission Impossible stuntman-turned-actor Stephen Oyoung joins Adam in the studio to talk about his journey into Hollywood, working alongside Tom Cruise, and the crazy world of action filmmaking. They also discuss Asian representation in media, Stephen's SoCal upbringing, his love of martial arts, and how Loveline helped shape his early years.

Adam kicks off the show by reminiscing about his co-starring role in Wreck-It Ralph and the surprising reaction it still gets from fans. He then unveils yet another classic Al Pacino scene, this time with Jay Mohr putting his own spin on the character—proving once again that Pacino impressions never get old. From there, Adam riffs on coaster weight, the gnarly side effects of Niacin, Biden's cancer diagnosis, the sheer brilliance of pit crews, and the fine line between first and last place—not just in racing, but in life. Next, Jay Chandrasekhar joins the show and dives into:The universal boyhood obsession with foot speed (because being the fastest kid on the playground is basically royalty).His journey through comedy as an Indian kid in grade school, dealing with stereotypes and British influence over India.The decision to cast himself in movies and TV shows instead of waiting for Hollywood (considering the only Indian "stars" he saw were Fisher Stevens and Peter Sellers in brownface).The hilariously awkward story of wearing his wife's underpants (sometimes you just gotta improvise).Why comedy films should be communal experiences—because laughing alone just isn't the same.Jay and Adam also break down the realities of directing low-budget movies vs. TV shows, and Jay introduces his new app, VouchVault, which he swears will revolutionize review sites and help him finally get revenge on Rotten Tomatoes. They wrap up their chat by agreeing that seeing Phish live is overrated, and Jay shares his comedic influences: John Landis, Eddie Murphy, and Richard Pryor. Naturally, both Jay and Adam declare Spinal Tap the greatest comedy of all time. Jason "Mayhem" Miller joins the show and kicks off the news with a must-see clip of Adam singing "Big Bottoms" with John Popper. From there, the trio dives into the top stories of the day, including:Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis.NYC's most notorious repeat offender—a guy who's been caught 134 times for stealing and still hasn't stopped.And finally, the mind-blowing possibility of science turning lead into gold.Get it on!FOR MORE WITH JAY CHANDRASEKHAR:INSTAGRAM: @jaychandrasekharTWITTER: @jaychandrasekhaAPP: https://www.vouchvault.com/FOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER:INSTAGRAM: @mayhemmillerTWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: magnvs.io/pages/summit?via=mayhemThank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineCalderaLab.com/ADAMGo to https://hometitlelock.com/adamcarolla and use promo code ADAM to get a FREE title history report so you can find out if you're already a victim AND 14 days of protection for FREE!
