Podcasts about cancer society

  Just because someone beats their estimated prognosis. Doesn't mean they are not suffering. Actually, it's quite the contrary!  They continue to live because they are fighting HARDER than ever before! They have something to prove. Or, in my case... someones. You pick and choose your battles in life. This, I learned the hard way. CHOOSE WISELY!.

Concerns over skin cancer with many Kiwis still getting sunburnt. A new Cancer Society and Otago University survey, has found 64% of respondents were sunburnt at least once last summer, including 26% severely. Rates were highest among 18 to 24-year-olds, with more than a third reporting at least three sunburns. Dr Bryan Betty joined Jack Tame to break down the data and discuss some of the best ways to push skin protection to the youth. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is a little different.I recorded it while away at the beach with my family, fitting it in between swims, time with the kids, and the usual holiday chaos. Instead of the usual interview, this is just me taking a moment to reflect on the past year of Purposely Podcast and some of the themes that kept coming up.2025 was a big year for the podcast. We recorded 49 episodes and are closing in on 300 in total since Purposely began in 2020. This episode is a pause rather than a performance. A chance to share what stood out, what I have learned, and what feels worth carrying forward.One of the questions I ask in every interview is about mission and purpose. It has become increasingly clear to me that organisations with real clarity on why they exist tend to do better. They raise funds more effectively, motivate their teams more strongly, and stay focused on the impact they are trying to have. That clarity acts as a north star, especially when things get tough.I also share some thoughts on what it has meant to hear from listeners and see the podcast grow. The feedback, messages, and ongoing engagement really matter to me and help shape where the podcast goes next.A strong theme this year was the value of lived experience in leadership. Two conversations that stayed with me were with Nicola Coombe, CEO of the Cancer Society of New Zealand, and Shaun Robinson, CEO of the Mental Health Foundation. Both spoke openly about how their own experiences shape the way they lead and the empathy they bring to their roles.Another recurring topic was shared leadership and the rise of co-CEO models. Conversations with Alison Goodman from Noah's Ark Children's Hospice and Dean Hegarty from the Responsible Investment Association Australasia showed how well these arrangements can work when there is trust, complementary skill sets, and very little ego.I also reflect on the growing interest in venture philanthropy. In a difficult funding environment, conversations with Mary Rose Gunn from The Four and Izzy Horrocks from the Aotearoa Life Course Fund highlighted new ways of supporting early-stage organisations and social entrepreneurs, and why understanding how funders think is becoming increasingly important.This year I also hosted a number of in-person events, bringing together people from the investment world and the for-purpose sector. One thing I have become more convinced of is that as technology and AI make information easier to access, human connection becomes more valuable, not less. Meeting in person, learning together, and building relationships still matter.Towards the end of the episode I share a personal story about discipline and consistency. It is a reminder that change does not usually come from big gestures, but from small actions repeated over time.Thank you for listening and for supporting Purposely Podcast through 2025. I am really looking forward to what is coming in 2026, with more conversations, live events, and some new formats as the podcast continues to evolve.Some reflections from the yearThemes that stood out in 2025Connection still mattersA personal reflectionLooking ahead

Summer is well and truly here, and with warmer days comes more time spent outdoors, and the need for sunscreen. Head of advocacy and public affairs at the Cancer Society, Rachael Neumann spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

New Zealand has the chance to virtually eliminate cervical cancer but the uptake of a vaccination that prevents it remains incredibly low. The latest State of Cancer report released today says half of all cancers are preventable. The Human Papilloma viruses or HPVs are the main causes of several cancers including cervical, mouth and throat cancer. But the HPV vaccine can prevent the virus. Head of Advocacy and Public Affairs at the Cancer Society, Rachael Neumann spoke to Lisa Owen.

There are areas for improvement in how we prevent cancer, with the number of new cases expected to jump in the next two decades. The Cancer Control Agency's latest State of Cancer report shows cancer's on the rise. Diagnoses are expected to rise from 30 thousand this year to more than 45 thousand in 2044. Cancer Society National Chief Executive Nicola Coom told Andrew Dickens people with cancer are living longer, but we could have less cancer to begin with if we introduced more screening. She says other OECD countries we compare ourselves to are preventing more cancer because they do far more in the cancer prevention space than we do.

Anger continues to surge against the new Government's plan to repeal smoke-free legislation. The National-led government wants to scrap limitations on the nicotine content of vapes, the number of stores able to sell tobacco products, and the world-leading tobacco product ban for anyone born after 2008. New Health Minister Doctor Shane Reti told RNZ the laws would drive the black market and increase retail crime. Chief executive Dr Rachael Hart says the Cancer Society is united with its health sector allies in opposition to the planned changes. Hart spoke to Corin Dann.

A father whose teenage son has cancer says the scheme to help them travel to get treatment doesn't come close to covering costs, and people shouldn't have to rely on charity to get the care they need. A shortage of cancer doctors means some patients are having to travel vast distances to see a specialist. And the Cancer Society says the National Travel Assistance Scheme scheme is not keeping up with rising costs. Luka Forman has more.

The plight of cancer patients having to travel away from their homes & families for treatment. The Cancer Society in Christchurch is having to use motels to house Otago/Southland cancer patients and their whanau, because their other accommodation is full to overflowing. Around a dozen patients have had to come to Christchurch due to a lack of medical specialists in their area, nine families are in motels. All 36 rooms at Christchurch's Daffodil house and Daffodil lodge full with patients from different districts. On Friday Te Whatu apologised to cancer patients who may face disruption due to shortages of senior doctors at Dunedin Hospital. The oncology unit there should have eight specialists, but it's down to just three and one of those is leaving in November meaning the hospital is also losing its accrediation to train junior onoclogy doctors too. And Health NZ says that could mean even more patients having to travel for treatment, although it can't say how many. Craig Watson is the Cancer Society's Service Delivery Manager for Canterbury, West Coast, Otago & Southland.
