In this episode of Marrow Masters, we speak with Stephanie Chuang, founder and chief storyteller of The Patient Story. Stephanie shares how her life changed at 31, just two months before her wedding, when she was diagnosed with lymphoma. At the time, she was working as a TV news reporter in San Francisco and had been explaining away symptoms like fatigue, bloating, and a strange cough. A same day doctor's visit led to blood work, an x-ray, an emergency CT scan, and then the call that confirmed lymphoma. Stephanie talks about the shock of diagnosis and the fear that followed. She also shares how much it mattered to have people around her who understood how to navigate the health care system. A family friend who was a doctor helped her get into care quickly, showed her what steps to take, and became a human compass during a frightening time. That experience stayed with her. It helped shape the reason she later created The Patient Story, so others would not have to feel so alone after diagnosis. The conversation then moves into survivorship and the emotional whiplash that can happen when treatment ends. Stephanie explains that hearing “no evidence of disease” was a huge relief, but it did not mean life went back to normal. She felt grateful, but she also felt lost. Her identity as a journalist, fiancé, daughter, sister, and busy person had been shaken. She could not simply return to the same pace or the same version of herself. Stephanie also talks about scanxiety and the surveillance cycle. She describes how difficult it can be to move from frequent monitoring to longer gaps between appointments. Graduating from three month checks to six month checks can feel like progress, but it can also feel scary. She explains that giving herself permission to feel anxious, without adding shame, helped her cope. We also talk about the phrase “the new normal” and the late effects that can follow intense treatment. Stephanie shares that survivorship requires more support than many people realize, especially when patients move from oncology care back to primary care. She emphasizes the importance of meeting people where they are, validating their fears, and helping them feel less alone. The episode closes with Stephanie's message to newly diagnosed patients: you are not alone, your questions matter, and you deserve to speak up in the doctor's office. The Patient Story exists to share honest, hopeful stories that help people find connection, information, and courage.

In this episode, pulmonologist, intensivist, and advanced bronchoscopist Huzaifah Salat joins Duane Manicini to unpack what's changing in lung cancer care, and why the biggest constraint in MedTech isn't the FDA, funding, or clinician adoption, but founders building for clinicians instead of with them. Huzaifah shares how robotic bronchoscopy, advanced imaging, and better CT quality are enabling diagnosis of tiny, moving lung nodules, and why the next wave may be non-invasive diagnostics like blood-based, saliva, or bronchial secretion testing. He offers an inside look at serving as a regional medical director and physician voice to the C-suite, where “no margin, no mission” meets patient-first priorities, and explains how diverse frontline perspectives, beyond physicians alone, shape products that truly fit real clinical workflows.Huzaifah Salat LinkedInDuane Mancini LinkedInProject Medtech WebsiteProject Medtech LinkedInThank you to our sponsors: Ward Law and JumpStart Inc.

Hi there and welcome back to Everymum the podcast. I'm Aisling Keenan, your host. Today's guest is the fabulous Jennifer Wrynne. Jennifer, many of you will know, is a milliner, online influencer and mum of four, who in the past year or so has been sharing a deeply personal and life-changing experience very publicly: her breast cancer diagnosis. In this episode, we talk about that moment: how she found out, what followed, and the reality of navigating treatment while life kept moving around her. Jennifer speaks with incredible honesty about the fear, the uncertainty, and also the resilience she found in herself during that time. We also talk about her decision to share so much of her journey online, why she chose to be open, what that gave her, and how it's helped other women, particularly when it comes to awareness around checking your breasts and paying attention to your body. This isn't a story wrapped up in neat positivity. It's about the complicated middle: the days that are hard, the mindset shifts that don't come easily, and the ways people find strength when they don't really have another option. Jennifer's perspective is generous, grounded and incredibly impactful and I'm so grateful to her for sharing it with me and you, the listeners. Here's the episode, and I'll be back next week with more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What would happen to your business if you couldn't show up tomorrow? It's a question most entrepreneurs avoid asking, until life asks it for them. In this deeply personal episode, Salena Knight opens up about the terrifying moment she was told she was likely facing cancer and how that experience forced her to confront a reality many business owners quietly fear: has the business been built to survive without you? This episode is not just about health. It's about leadership, dependency, burnout, systems, priorities, and the emotional weight so many founders carry behind the scenes. You'll hear the lessons that came from stepping back, re-evaluating what truly matters, and recognising the risks of building a business that depends entirely on one person to keep everything moving. If you've ever felt like your business couldn't function without you, this conversation will challenge the way you think about growth, success, and sustainability. If this episode hit close to home and you realised your business relies too heavily on you to survive, then it's time to build a business that can grow sustainably.

How do you cope with a cancer diagnosis when healing feels bigger than medicine alone? Rita De Michele speaks with Bron Watson, registered nurse, educator, entrepreneur, founder of The Social Coach and The Serenity Project, about her journey through breast cancer and incurable blood cancer. Bron shares why healing can be physical, emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal, and how finding serenity in uncertainty can help people reconnect with themselves beyond diagnosis. 

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most frightening part of a pathology report is not the word cancer, but the silence that follows?In this episode of the Digital Pathology Podcast, Dr. Aleksandra Zuraw talks with Michele Mitchell—breast cancer survivor, caregiver, national patient advocate, and longtime volunteer across Michigan Medicine, ASCP, the Digital Pathology Association, and MyPathologyReport.ca—about what happened when she saw her own cancer slide years after treatment. That moment changed how she understood her disease, her risk, and her role as a patient advocate.This is not just a patient story. It is a digital pathology implementation story.The episode looks at how digital pathology removes practical barriers to sharing slides, why pathology clinics matter, and what becomes possible when pathologists move from being hidden in the background to becoming direct contributors to patient understanding. Michelle and Dr. Aleks talk through the communication gap around pathology reports, the emotional cost of delayed explanation, and the real-world workflow of pathology clinic visits built to help patients review their slides with the pathologist who made the diagnosis.They also discuss what the 21st Century Cures Act changed for patients, why immediate access to reports without interpretation can still create fear, and how pathology clinics can bridge the gap between raw data and real understanding. The conversation gets practical too: how patients can request a pathology clinic visit, what virtual pathology consults can look like, how billing and workflow concerns are already being addressed, and why the infrastructure question is smaller than many people assume.If you work in digital pathology, pathology informatics, patient communication, or implementation, this episode is a reminder that visibility is not extra. It is part of the value proposition. And for pathologists who worry this is too far outside the traditional role, the episode offers a grounded counterpoint: the workflows, templates, billing structures, and virtual options already exist.Highlights00:00 – Why pathology needs to become more patient-centered Michele frames the core problem clearly: what often scares patients is not only cancer, but the silence around the diagnosis. 00:34 – How digital pathology changes the patient experience Digital slides make it possible for patients to see their diagnosis, compare normal and abnormal tissue, and ask better questions. 11:13 – What happened when Michele saw her cancer for the first time More than a decade after treatment, seeing her own slide changed how she understood her grade, her risk, and her daily health decisions. 16:19 – Why visual pathology can change adherence and lifestyle Michele explains how the image-based explanation became a practical turning point, not just an emotional one. 20:43 – The case for direct pathologist-patient communication The episode reviews why this can improve clarity, treatment understanding, clinic efficiency, and even professional satisfaction for pathologists. 38:40 – What a pathology clinic actually looks like From preparation and consent to slide review, plain language, empathy, and follow-up, the workflow is much more concrete than many people assume. 45:35 – ASCP's certification workshop for pathology clinics Michele describes the national effort to make pathology clinics reproducible, scalable, and easier to implement. 49:32 – What the 21st Century Cures Act changed Patients now get near real-time access to reports, but that access still needs interpretation, context, and support. 01:03:23 – Pushback, logistics, and why the barriers are not where people think Time, reimbursement, scheduling, and virtual setup are addressed directly with examples already in practice. 01:16:57 – The future: patient-friendly reports, AI, and pathology as part of the care team The episode closes on a practical vision: not hype, but tools and workflows that already exist and can be connected now. Resources mentionedDigital Pathology Place – website and educational platform referenced by Dr. Aleks as the home for her work and resources. Digital Pathology 101 – Dr. Aleks's book, referenced in the broader discussion of patient and pathologist education. Michigan Medicine breast pathology clinic – launched in 2023 as a patient-facing breast pathology clinic model. ASCP pathology clinic certification workshop – national workshop co-developed to help institutions build pathology clinics. 21st Century Cures Act – legal framework behind near real-time patient access to pathology reports and related health data. MyPathologyReport.ca – patient-friendly pathology education resource reviewed with patient advocate involvement. American Cancer Society Reach to Recovery – support resource mentioned for breast cancer patients. Scanslated – patient-friendly report interface discussed as part of a future-facing model for pathology communication. Virtual pathology consults/telehealth setup – discussed as a scalable way to lower implementation friction.Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Darlene Cordero was diagnosed with stage zero breast cancer, did everything right, and thought she was through it. Then years later, weeks after losing her father and one month after her godmother was murdered, she was blindsided by a stage 4 diagnosis that had spread to her liver. Her doctors had no explanation. She did — because she had done the deep work to understand what her body had been carrying long before any scan could show it. Three years later, she is one of the most alive, grounded, and radically honest human beings Dr. G has ever sat across from. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why Darlene believes her breast cancer has a generational root — the pattern of women in her lineage giving everything and receiving nothing, repeated across four generations — and what it finally took to break it  • What a death doula actually does, why looking directly at death might be the most life-giving thing you ever do, and why American culture's avoidance of it is quietly making us sicker  • What came through in a plant medicine journey that stopped Darlene cold: the words "you are the sacrifice" — and what that meant for her healing This is not a sad episode. There is no victimization here. This is one of the most alive conversations on this entire podcast.

Today, I'm joined by the remarkable Dr. Nasha Winters, whose personal journey of facing stage four cancer at just 19 years old turned into a decades-long mission to rethink the narrative around cancer, healing, and human potential. In our conversation, Dr. Winters opens up about those early days—what it felt like to receive a grim prognosis, the mindset shift that changed her path, and how questioning medical certainties led her to new paradigms in both conventional and integrative oncology.

  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.

What does it take to rebuild a life around what you actually love — not what looks impressive from the outside? Laura Kurup spent years as a high-performing tech executive — Chief Strategy Officer at the SEC, Chief Data Officer at the New York Fed — and somewhere along the way, paddling took a backseat. Then came a rare and aggressive breast cancer diagnosis at 40. What followed was a two-year unraveling and rebuilding that led her back to the river, into whitewater instruction, and toward a life anchored in her own intuition. In this episode, Laura and Anna explore what it really means to face discomfort — not just the dramatic kind, but the low-level stuff we spend enormous energy ignoring. Laura shares how cancer cracked open the identity she'd been clinging to, why letting go of control on the Grand Canyon led to better lines, and what she's learned about expanding her window of tolerance — on the water and in life. In this episode, you'll explore: Why high performers often ignore discomfort until it becomes a five-alarm fire — and how to work with it at lower levels instead The mental shift that transformed Laura's lines on the Grand Canyon: from controlling the plan to reading and running How identity attachment (like being "the canoeist who doesn't flip") can quietly limit your growth What a cancer diagnosis revealed about the difference between performing a life and actually living one Laura's take on using AI intentionally — and why she compares it to ketchup The river metaphor she brought home from the Grand: following the bubble line If you've ever pushed discomfort down until it exploded, played it too safe and ended up stuck on the rocks, or wondered what life might look like if you gave yourself permission to follow your intuition — this episode is for you. The river gives you a put-in and a take-out. How you run it is up to you.

What if a cancer diagnosis became the beginning of a more empowered way of living? In this episode of Metabolic Matters, Laura Lummer shares her journey as a two-time breast cancer survivor, including her 2020 diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.Laura opens up about the shock of being diagnosed despite living a health-conscious life, the difficult realities of conventional treatment, and the mindset shift that changed everything: moving from fighting cancer to supporting her body's ability to heal.Through an integrative approach, deeper self-trust, and a commitment to joy, healing, and advocacy, Laura discovered a new way forward. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is personal, empowerment matters, and hope is always worth holding onto.Connect with Laura: Website: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/Laura's Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-than-before-breast-cancer-with-the-breast/id1251292364Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebreastcancerrecoverycoach/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LauraLummerTheBreastCancerRecoveryCoach Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCifXJdUKDbUMSkSlqCZAWUQ About Your Host: Christina Mason is a lifelong storyteller, educator, and truth-seeker whose journey—from music and teaching to entrepreneurship—has always been guided by curiosity.

What if the next health crisis isn’t a virus… but what came after it? Dr. Peter McCullough joins me to break down a chilling possibility now being quietly discussed in medical circles: so-called “pandemic-related cancer.” We dive into the stunning breast cancer diagnosis of President Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and why some doctors are asking uncomfortable questions about what’s really driving a surge in aggressive cancers. Is this coincidence… or consequence? McCullough lays out the science, the warnings that were ignored, and what every American needs to understand right now about long-term risks tied to the pandemic era. The medical establishment doesn’t want this conversation happening—but we’re having it.

Catherine, The Princess of Wales, revealed she has become far more careful about alcohol since her cancer diagnosis while visiting a brewery along London's Bermondsey Beer Mile with Prince William.The royal couple also visited Borough Market, where they chopped cheese, served desserts and even made coffee for shoppers before taking a speedboat down the Thames to visit the Royal National Lifeboat Institution station in Westminster.We also look ahead to Catherine's appearance at the Irish Guards' St Patrick's Day parade in Aldershot, where she will present shamrock in her role as Colonel of the regiment.Plus, William and Catherine prepare to welcome Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during his state visit to the United Kingdom, Prince William surprises rugby fans by singing the Welsh national anthem in Welsh, and Catherine quietly marks Mother's Day with a message about the importance of early childhood.And in court, a Mail on Sunday journalist reveals she once chose not to publish a major scoop about Kate's first pregnancy after learning about it days before the news became public.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

What does it take to go from standing at the edge of a highway at 2 a.m.—ready to end your life… to receiving a miracle heart transplant and living with radical faith?In this powerful episode, we sit down with our dear friend Phillip Gornail to unpack a story that honestly left us in awe of God's grace.Phil opens up about the night he drove the wrong way onto a highway after losing his marriage, his identity, and what he believed was his purpose.

Kidney failure. Chemotherapy. Heart failure. And eventually, a heart transplantAnd yet through every diagnosis, every loss, every moment where fear could have taken over, Phil chose something different: surrender. Trust. Faith in God's authority over his life.This conversation isn't just about survival.

Your CANCER Diagnosis Isn't Your Fault (And Why That Matters): A Stage 4 Cancer Survivor's Truth About Energy and Healing with Maria Kang  What if everything you think you know about cancer and healing is actually backwards? Maria Kang has lived a life that defies conventional narratives. She's the "No Excuses Mom" who challenged the fitness industry…and then she got stage 4 cancer while doing everything "right." But instead of following the standard playbook, she made a choice that shocked everyone around her and in that, discovered that cancer wasn't her enemy - it was her greatest teacher. This is not your typical cancer survival story. In this conversation, Maria walks us through her journey from the moment of diagnosis through the stunning realization that cancer, autoimmune disease, and chronic illness emerge from an energetic state of chronic self-betrayal. She shares why she resisted chemotherapy, what happened when the tumor shrank after gratitude practice, why cancer returned, and what truly shifted when she finally surrendered. More importantly, she reveals what this teaches every woman about people-pleasing, boundaries, inner authority, and the cost of abandoning yourself. Whether or not you're facing a cancer diagnosis, this episode will change how you listen to your body. Maria's recent book, Sacred Becoming, documents her full transformation. And what Natalie discovered while reading it is that this isn't just a cancer story, it's a blueprint for remembering who you actually are underneath all the conditioning. Midlife women are in a health crisis not just about food or fitness. It's about chronic disconnection from your own inner knowing. It's about people-pleasing patterns that literally make your body sick. It's about forgotten boundaries and abandoned dreams. Maria's story shows what happens when those patterns escalate to cancer. And more importantly, it shows what becomes possible when you finally listen to your body and remember who you actually are.   Episode Links:  Maria's new book: Sacred Becoming https://www.sacredbecomingbooks.com/products/sacred-becoming-book Past Episode - 401: The GIFT of Cancer with Maria Kang https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/401-the-gift-of-cancer-with-maria-kang/id1436973433?i=1000673961700    Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Maria Kang Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/mariakangfitness  Website ➜  https://www.mariakang.com/  Book ➜  https://www.sacredbecomingbooks.com/products/sacred-becoming-book  Thank you to our show sponsors!

In today's episode, we sit down for a deeply honest and hope-filled conversation about what it looks like to trust God when life takes an unexpected and heartbreaking turn. Tveen Verano shares her journey of walking through her son's cancer diagnosis… not from a place of having it all figured out, but through surrender, grief, and steadfast faith. This conversation is a reminder that faith doesn't always look pretty or put together. That sometimes it looks like showing up and clinging to Jesus, even when the outcome is uncertain. In this episode, we talk about: what it means to grieve and yet still have hope how God meets us in the valley, not just on the mountaintop learning to anchor our hope in Christ rather than in outcomes wrestling honestly with fear, waiting, and unanswered prayers encouragement for anyone who is barely hanging on Whether you're a mom walking through a diagnosis, someone facing unexpected hardship, or simply in a season where faith feels heavy: this episode is for you. You are not alone sister, and Psalm 34:18 reminds us that God is near to the brokenhearted.

He reads glowing listener comments on the recent Sid Vicious/Ned Van Zandt heroin epic, plugs stickers for Spotify/iTunes reviews, and shares a powerful email from Sarah E. about her ongoing brutal struggle with 7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) dependence after accidents and kratom escalation, highlighting deception, severe withdrawals, and the "master of deception" label despite a strong sober community.The core is a raw, heartfelt interview with returning guest Erin Khar (author of Strung Out, unlicensed advice columnist), who opens up about her recent diagnosis of small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) / chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)—a slow-growing, incurable non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma discovered via routine mammogram/biopsy around Labor Day. Erin details the terrifying pathology call, symptoms (years of unexplained fatigue, anemia, frequent illnesses), watch-and-wait monitoring (no treatment yet until lymphocyte count rises), good-news/bad-news aspects (no chemo likely, keeps her hair, many live normal lifespans especially younger diagnoses like her at 52), and how curiosity over fear helps her cope.They explore parallels to addiction/recovery (one day at a time, sitting on hands during suicidal moments, grief + gratitude coexisting), family impact (kids' anxiety, protecting emotions), quality over quantity of life, and Erin's Substack reveal for connection. Ends with an Ask Erin advice segment, Johnny Thunders love ("Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory"), and Trinity's cover of "Wanna Be Good So Bad". ALL THAT AND MORE MORE MORE!
