When advanced disease becomes a long-term reality, the journey changes. It requires strength, not just to survive, but to grow deeply and find a Vibrant Life in the Face of Metastasis. This week, we talk about the incredible resilience of the human spirit that finds depth, clarity, and life's true priorities when cancer is treated as a chronic illness.https://bit.ly/4nYz15Z#VibrantLife #ChronicCancer #Metastasis #Resilience #HumanSideOfCancerIn This Episode:02:51 - South Dakota - Hot Springs and Kuchen03:31 - Advice Hotline - Get Life Tips from Senior Adults06:06 - Why Cancer is Now Considered a Chronic Disease09:00 - How Cancer Care is Adapting to the Complexity of Longer Lives with Cancer15:39 - Discussion with Charlie - What Are Early Cancer Symptoms; What About Secondary Cancers?20:52 - "My Hands" by- Joseph Hawkins22:02 - OutroFifty years ago, a cancer diagnosis often meant a short, intense battle. Today, thanks to incredible advancements in detection and treatments like immunotherapy, cancer is transforming into a chronic disease. We are seeing people with Stage IV, metastatic cancer living for ten years or more.But this new reality—this longer life—comes with a profound and often unspoken human cost: the uncertainty of cycling on and off treatment, the relentless drain of financial toxicity, and the sheer exhaustion of staying engaged. How do you plan a life when the prognosis is always shifting?In this episode, we explore what it truly means to manage advanced cancer as a chronic condition. We discuss the evolving, deeply personal relationship between the patient and their care team, the moment a diagnosis becomes a strange kind of gift that brings incredible clarity, and how we can all learn to focus on living well in the time we have.Join us as we dive into the resilience of the human spirit when faced with the long game of chronic cancer care.Support the showGet show notes and resources at our website: every1dies.org.

Real progress comes when we stop managing symptoms and start understanding the body's messages. What might yours be saying?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Erin Ellis, a naturopathic doctor whose own health journey from Non-Hodgkin lymphoma to Hashimoto's completely reshaped how she approaches healing. We talk about her path from cancer survivor to women's hormone specialist, and how she uncovered the deeper connections between thyroid autoimmunity, toxins, and genetic vulnerability. Dr. Ellis shares what helped her reverse Hashimoto's antibodies, the foundational steps she teaches her patients, and why true recovery often begins with something as simple as sleep, food quality, and reducing toxic load. Her story is a powerful reminder that the body can heal when we understand why it's reacting, not just how to suppress symptoms.This conversation might help you see your symptoms in a completely new way.

A frightening diagnosis can steal the air from a room. Nicole's story gives it back. From the shock of hearing “breast cancer” to the rhythm of surgery, sixteen chemo infusions and now the daily focus of radiation, she lets us into the real work of getting through it: making plans, asking for help and finding bright spots inside the hard days. As a mother of two and a community leader, she talks candidly about fear, the weight of uncertainty and the simple rituals that brought her peace.Those bright spots include a calm, golden-furred constant: April Sweetie, a therapy dog who turns infusion rooms into gentler spaces. With handler Larry, April visits cancer centers, ICUs and children's hospitals, offering a few minutes of ease to patients and the clinicians who care for them. We explore how therapy animals reduce anxiety and boost morale for healthcare teams who often need support as much as the people they treat. April's own journey from a breeding farm to hospital hallways mirrors the transformation that happens when care becomes truly human.For more content from Centra Health check us out on the following channels.YouTubeFacebookInstagramTwitter

Lisa Tarantino's journey with stage 3 endometrial cancer began in 2017 when she advocated for herself despite her gynecologist's initial reassurances. After receiving her diagnosis, she underwent multiple surgeries and chemotherapy, facing complications including sepsis and genetic challenges with low white blood cell counts. When her oncology team simply advised her to "go home and live her life," Lisa found this guidance insufficient and fell into depression. Lisa's turning point came when she attended the Annie Appleseed cancer convention, where she discovered integrative specialists and the concept of radical remission. Her faith became a cornerstone of her healing journey, providing stability amid the chaos of her diagnosis. She describes praying through difficult pathology reports and leaning on her spirituality to guide every treatment decision. This spiritual foundation led her to join a supportive Christian church community in Florida. A key aspect of Lisa's recovery was her commitment to becoming the "CEO" of her own health. She navigated the challenges of conventional treatment while incorporating integrative therapies, despite facing resistance from some medical professionals. Lisa transitioned from a ketogenic diet to a plant-based approach as recommended by her traditional Chinese medical doctor. She also emphasized the importance of mindset work and releasing suppressed emotions as essential components of healing. Lisa's personal transformation included setting boundaries, removing toxic relationships from her life, and becoming more assertive about her needs. She found purpose in starting a cancer support group at her church, where she now helps others navigate their own cancer journeys. Her experience highlights the importance of having someone to advocate for patients during oncologist appointments and helping them understand their treatment options. Throughout her interview, Lisa emphasizes that cancer, while challenging, can present an opportunity for positive life changes and discovering new purpose. She encourages patients not to feel alone and to maintain hope throughout their journey. Lisa's story demonstrates how integrating conventional medicine, alternative therapies, spiritual practice, and community support can create a comprehensive approach to cancer treatment and recovery.Lisa Tarantino shares her journey with stage 3 endometrial cancer, emphasizing how she advocated for herself when her gynecologist initially dismissed her concerns.After conventional treatments and complications including sepsis, Lisa found hope at the Annie Appleseed cancer convention where she discovered integrative approaches and the concept of radical remission.Faith became the cornerstone of Lisa's healing journey, providing stability through difficult medical decisions and eventually leading her to start a cancer support group at her church.Lisa stresses the importance of being the "CEO" of your own health, which includes setting boundaries with toxic people, making informed treatment decisions, and incorporating nutrition changes like her shift to a plant-based diet.Despite challenges with conventional oncologists who didn't discuss nutrition or lifestyle factors, Lisa transformed her experience into a mission to support other cancer patients through advocacy and community building.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

What does it really mean to bring precision medicine to every patient, in every community?In this inspiring, one-hour episode of the Precision Medicine Podcast, host Karan Cushman sits down with Dr. Arif Kamal, Chief Patient Officer at the American Cancer Society (ACS), for a wide-ranging conversation that reframes how we think about progress in cancer care. With a background in oncology, palliative care and health system innovation—and a personal story shaped by his mother's metastatic breast cancer diagnosis—Dr. Kamal offers a deeply human perspective on what it means to deliver not just the right treatment, but the right experience for every patient.Dr. Kamal shares how the ACS is working to make precision medicine more equitable by addressing barriers like geography, affordability, clinician burnout, and fragmented care.
