What if you could test your cancer cells BEFORE choosing a treatment and actually watch which drugs kill them? That's not science fiction. That's what we did for Kamren — a 38-year-old man in my own family who was diagnosed with a rare, complex cancer that conventional medicine struggled to classify, let alone treat. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on three precision tests that most oncologists have never ordered and explaining exactly what they revealed, what they changed, and why they matter for every cancer patient, not just his. We're talking about:

Interview with Linda Dinu, NP

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Dr. Carole: I've always had the ability to communicate even the most complex problems in a way that anybody can understand.The toughest battles often require the most creative solutions. Chemotherapy saves lives, but it can also lead to debilitating, lifelong nerve damage—also known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Dr. Carole Spangler Vaughn, CEO of Eisana Health and a cancer survivor herself, is solving this overlooked problem with a revolutionary product.Carole discovered that cooling hands and feet during treatment can reduce blood flow, preventing chemo drugs from damaging nerves in these areas. When she was a cancer patient, Carole improvised with baggies of frozen corn. While this crude method helped her avoid nerve damage, she recognized the need for a better, scalable solution. “As a medical innovator, I figured there'd be an easy way for me to do that,” Carole revealed during today's episode. “But I learned very quickly there's no solution for cancer patients.” That realization led her to found Eisana Health.Carole's innovation is far more advanced than her frozen-corn workaround. Eisana Health's cooling gloves and booties are safe, portable, and designed for long hours of use. “Cancer patients don't need to be ice cold or risk frostbite,” Carole explained. “Our products are designed to cool effectively, allowing patients to use their phones, eat, and walk while receiving treatment.”In addition to Carole's inspiring story as a scientist-turned-entrepreneur, today's episode included an announcement about Eisana Health's crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. With their 510(k) FDA exemption, Eisana Health plans to launch their product quickly and grow through a phased approach, starting in Houston before scaling nationally. The campaign provides an opportunity for everyone—especially those personally impacted by cancer treatments—to invest in this game-changing technology.This effort is inspired by Carole's belief that CIPN outcomes can be avoided with the right tools. “We hear heartbreaking stories, like a foot surgeon who gave up her career after chemo left her unable to safely operate,” Carole shared. “These stories didn't need to end that way.”By focusing on a widely unaddressed yet deeply personal need, Carole is transforming her vision into a reality that will help cancer patients everywhere lead better lives. To learn more, visit Eisana Health's campaign on Wefunder.tl;dr:Chemotherapy can cause life-altering nerve damage, which Eisana Health is innovating to prevent.Cancer survivor Carole Spangler Vaughn founded Eisana Health to address overlooked needs in cancer care.Eisana's cooling products aim to prevent nerve damage and improve the chemotherapy experience.The company is raising funds on Wefunder to scale the product nationally without FDA delays.Carole shared insights on communication as her superpower, enabling breakthroughs professionally and personally.How to Develop Communication As a SuperpowerCarole's superpower is her ability to communicate complex ideas in simple, relatable ways. “I've always had the ability to communicate even the most complex problems in a way that anybody can understand,” she said during today's episode. Carole credits her skill not only for helping patients and investors understand her work but also for her success as an entrepreneur navigating technical fields.Carole shared an anecdote from when she ran a stem cell therapy franchise for pets in Hawaii. She had to explain intricate science to pet owners, like how stem cells extracted from fat could be re-injected to heal arthritic joints. Simplifying complex science while conveying hope enabled her to help clients, ultimately improving the quality of life for countless animals.Tips for Developing Communication:Build Confidence: Trust your knowledge and resist the urge to show off or overcomplicate.Practice Humility: Speak in simple terms and adapt your approach to your audience.Focus on Clarity: Avoid using technical jargon when simpler words can convey the same idea.Relate to Your Listener: Use relatable examples or stories to connect and explain.By following Carole's example and advice, you can make communication a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileCarole Spangler Vaughn (she/her):CEO, Eisana HealthAbout Eisana Health: While cancer survival rates continue to improve, side effects remain a significant issue, increasing healthcare costs and reducing quality of life. Eisana Health is developing patient-centric solutions to prevent these side effects. Our first device is a novel cooling device, specifically tailored to the unique needs of cancer patients, to prevent permanent and painful nerve damage in hands and feet caused by common chemotherapy drugs.Website: eisanahealth.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/eisanahealthOther URL: https://wefunder.com/eisana.healthBiographical Information: Dr. Carole Spangler Vaughn (CEO) holds a Ph.D. in Biophysics (Johns Hopkins University) and an MBA (University of Washington).

She shares a journey that is almost impossible to imagine. Kecia shares the unimaginable journey that began in early 2020 when severe rectal pain was repeatedly dismissed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic—until an emergency biopsy revealed colorectal cancer.What followed was months of chemotherapy, radiation, severe treatment complications, second-degree burns, isolation, and a fight to survive.But surviving cancer was only the beginning.Kecia opens up about the lasting effects of treatment, including radiation toxicity, nerve damage, brittle bones, early menopause, chronic pain, and mobility challenges. As she struggled to rebuild her own health, she also began recognizing developmental and sensory differences in her daughter, Journei. Kecia pursued evaluations that ultimately led to an autism diagnosis. About Our GuestKecia Johnson is the creator of the Cancer Could NEVA healing movement. Her journey is rooted in resilience, faith, and transformation.

What does it actually feel like to be told you have a 20 to 30% chance of surviving? And what happens after - not the comeback story everyone wants to hear, but the years of brain fog, depression, and suicidal ideation that almost nobody talks about? What if the real miracle isn't beating the disease, but what you do in the long, dark years that follow? Michael finally sits down with his dear friend Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning and survivor of both a near-fatal car accident at 20 and a rare, aggressive leukemia at 37, for the interview that was supposed to happen a decade ago but got swallowed by Hal's diagnosis instead. This isn't the polished mindset story you've heard Hal tell a hundred times. These are two men who've both been hit by trucks, literally and figuratively, comparing notes on what dying actually teaches you about being alive, including the parts of the journey Hal has never fully unpacked on a podcast before. This isn't about beating cancer. This is about what comes after the remission, the brain damage, the despair, the six years it took just to feel human again, and the daily practice that, against everything, pulled him back. Key Topics: The diagnosis that changed everything: the night Hal woke up unable to breathe, the misdiagnosis, and the oncologist's words, "you have a 20 to 30% chance of surviving", that started it all. The decision that reframed his odds: why Hal refused to see himself as having a 30% chance of survival, and instead committed to doing everything the survivors did, giving himself a "100% chance of being among the 30%." The three-step affirmation formula Hal actually used to fight for his life: affirm what you're committed to, affirm why it's a must, and affirm exactly what you'll do and when, not the vague, magical-thinking affirmations most people are taught. The five deeply personal reasons Hal read aloud every single day during his darkest, 105-degree-fever nights, reasons that kept him going when he no longer wanted to fight for himself. Chemo brain laid bare: the year of two-to-four-hours-a-night sleep deprivation, the major depression, the suicidal ideation, and the moment Hal quietly began planning a way to end his life without it looking intentional. Why his children, not faith in his own recovery, were the real reason he didn't go through with it, and the moment he finally told his oncologist he was done with chemotherapy against doctor's orders. The nocebo effect: why being told a list of everything wrong with your body can be just as powerful, and just as dangerous, as any positive affirmation, and why Michael and Hal both refuse to let a doctor's opinion become their reality. Dr. Bernie Siegel's stunning finding from 3,000 cancer patients: the single common trait among every survivor was that there was simply no other option for them than survival. The healing that didn't begin in remission: why Hal says his real recovery only started in May 2020, when he quit every pharmaceutical drug he was on, and why it's taken six full years, with real progress only in the last twelve months. Why Hal is now releasing the belief that suffering is required to help others, and what it means to finally choose ease over earned wisdom. The mic-drop moment from the Miracle Morning documentary: filming himself mid-migraine, in unbearable pain, sobbing, and still saying, through tears, "I am grateful for this moment." Faith isn't certainty. It's choosing the possibility you want and committing to it completely, every single day, in writing, fueled by reasons big enough to carry you through the nights you want to give up. You can't guarantee the outcome. You can only stack the deck by becoming, every single day, a little more the person who gets there. Your best is yet to come. Say it until you believe it. Then go live like it's already true. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

Safiya felt a lump at 36, had no insurance, and almost didn't know where to turn. Thankfully, a referral brought her to The Rose, where our patient navigation team helped her qualify for breast cancer treatment and got her first appointment at MD Anderson scheduled in just 15 days. Through all of it, our navigators walked alongside her, and her faith, anchored by a prayer her father read her the day she was diagnosed, carried her the rest of the way. Support The Rose HERE. Subscribe to Let’s Talk About Your Breasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and wherever you get your podcasts. Key Questions Answered 1.

Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy introduces the episode: Safiyah found a lump at 36 with no insurance, was referred to The Rose 10 days after her daughter turned 13, and qualified for Medicaid within weeks. 00:32 Dorothy describes Safiyah's treatment journey: chemo, surgery, radiation, hair loss, and hard conversations with two young children. She previews Safiyah's identity as a survivor who refuses to whisper. 01:51 Dorothy asks about the Phenomenal Women's event where Safiyah met Shannon McNair. Safiyah explains how a church event connected her to Nicole, who was donating proceeds to The Rose, and Safiyah shared her story. 02:38 Safiyah begins her story: January 2015, no insurance, a lump she felt and knew was not right. 03:10 Safiyah describes arriving at The Rose on January 5th, just three days after her daughter's 13th birthday, coming alone. 03:36 Safiyah explains a scheduling conflict: a court date for her daughter fell on the day scheduled for her biopsy. The Rose fit her in on a Wednesday, a day they do not normally do biopsies. 04:06 January 12, 2015: Safiyah receives her diagnosis. Invasive ductal carcinoma. 04:45 Dorothy asks how Safiyah knew to go in rather than wait. Safiyah describes several small moments, a missed earlier visit, a coworker's reaction to feeling the lump, that told her to take it seriously. 06:37 Dorothy notes Safiyah is nearly 10 to 11 years out. Safiyah confirms cancer free since July. 06:50 Safiyah talks about telling her daughter, then 13, about the diagnosis. Her daughter became an immediate and steady support, getting up at night to help without being asked. 08:09 Safiyah describes her treatment sequence: chemo first, then surgery, then radiation, then reconstruction. 08:30 Safiyah talks about hair loss. She cut her hair short before chemo started, went wig shopping with her sister as a fun outing, and found a way to own each phase of the look. 09:46 Dorothy asks how The Rose helped her get into treatment. Safiyah explains that a navigator told her not to pay for the insurance she was about to activate, and helped her qualify for breast cancer Medicaid instead. 10:41 Safiyah describes her determination to go to MD Anderson specifically, and the speed of the navigator's work. Diagnosed January 12, first MD Anderson appointment January 27. 11:33 Safiyah outlines the full treatment arc: one year of chemo including Herceptin, surgery, radiation, then reconstruction with one revision the following year. 12:23 Safiyah shares the lighter side of reconstruction. Her surgeon mentioned a tummy tuck was possible. She says that became her personal motivating bright spot. 12:55 Safiyah stopped working after her first round of chemo landed her in the hospital. Being home allowed her to be even more present for her kids. She now works from home. 13:40 Dorothy asks Safiyah to explain what she means by "a survivor who refuses to whisper." 13:55 Safiyah explains: refusing to whisper means being a voice so others know they do not have to walk alone. She describes cancer as something people mistake for a death sentence and calls herself a walking, talking testimony. 15:24 Dorothy asks whether Safiyah's optimism is inherited or developed. Safiyah says she has always been naturally optimistic and has always found purpose in speaking hope into others. 16:15 Safiyah talks about knowing family history. She was 36 at diagnosis, which means her daughter should start screening at 26. Her son also knows the full family history. 18:18 Safiyah shares that her mother had found a lump at 40 and never told anyone. Had she known, Safiyah would have started screening earlier. 19:08 Dorothy asks about Safiyah's faith. Safiyah describes the moment her father read her a prayer called "Let Go and Let God" the day she was diagnosed. That prayer became the anchor for her entire journey. 20:52 Safiyah traces several small moments she read as God's direction: the insurance paperwork timing, the court date resolving so she could focus on treatment, the Wednesday biopsy slot that should not have existed. 22:46 Dorothy reflects on how naturally encouragement flows from Safiyah. Safiyah describes stopping to talk to strangers, connecting with anyone she meets, and doing it with her kids watching, slightly impatiently. 23:44 Safiyah describes her signature T-shirt: letters rearranged to spell both "cancer" and "you too can survive." She explains it applies beyond cancer to anything hard. 25:11 Safiyah shares how her reach has expanded through family and friends passing along her name. She gets shirts custom made for people in treatment, including one that says "Cancer Chose the Wrong Diva." 26:14 Safiyah describes her radiation cohort. A woman she met daily during treatment was there the day Safiyah rang the bell. She still has photos. 26:42 Dorothy reveals this episode is recording on Safiyah's birthday. Safiyah explains why March 4th felt destined, and shows Dorothy a tattoo that reads "faith," marking January 12, 2015, her diagnosis date, as her "New Life Day." 27:41 Dorothy closes the conversation and confirms The Rose will keep Safiyah's name for patient peer support. Safiyah reiterates that The Rose gives people life and that she pours back into what was poured into her.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it look like to be diagnosed with one of the rarest cancers on earth - at 37, in your prime, with two young kids at home - and walk out the other side?In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Beau Barron, entrepreneur, former medical device professional, and mandibular osteosarcoma survivor, to trace the full arc of his diagnosis: five months of misdiagnosis, a biopsy he had to fight for, six brutal rounds of chemotherapy, and a 10-hour jaw reconstruction surgery using his own fibula. Beau also opens up about the functional medicine support that kept him training through chemo, the faith that kept him grounded, and why he now believes the diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to him.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction 4:02 From medical devices to cancer patient — Beau's background 5:20 Five months of misdiagnosis before anyone raised a red flag 12:26 Why mandibular osteosarcoma falls through the cracks 15:00 The bone biopsy he demanded that saved his life 17:57 Getting the diagnosis call mid-workday and going into action mode 29:00 Emory vs Mayo — navigating conflicting chemo recommendations 34:00 Working out through doxorubicin and ifosfamide 40:00 The 10-hour fibular flap reconstruction surgery 43:41 How cancer rewired his priorities as a father and husbandSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:Stat Wellness — https://www.statwellness.com Emory University Hospital — https://www.emoryhealthcare.org UAB Medicine — https://www.uabmedicine.org Mayo Clinic Arizona — https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/arizona Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

In dieser Folge wird's mal wieder ernst, denn vor ein paar Wochen hat sich Sarah bei uns gemeldet. Sie ist 33 Jahre alt und hat vor Kurzem die Diagnose triple-negativer Brustkrebs bekommen. Wir sprechen mit ihr darüber, was so eine Diagnose mit einem macht, wie es ist, mitten in der Chemo zu stecken und gleichzeitig Entscheidungen treffen zu müssen, mit denen man sich eigentlich erst viel später beschäftigen wollte: Kinderwunsch, eingefrorene Eizellen, eine vererbte Genmutation und die Frage, ob ihre Brust nach der Behandlung entfernt werden soll. Außerdem geht es um Angst, Hoffnung und darum, wie man weitermacht, wenn das eigene Leben plötzlich eine Richtung einschlägt, die man nie geplant hatte. Eine sehr offene Folge über Brustkrebs und den Versuch, trotz allem positiv nach vorne zu schauen.

LZ introduces his podcast “You Are Beautiful,” born from pandemic isolation, weight gain, and his Achilles rupture, and welcomes Melissa Etheridge. Etheridge says she learned “mirror work” during chemotherapy for breast cancer 22 years ago, training herself to say “Hello, gorgeous” and define beauty from within. They discuss oneness, choosing one's feelings, and course-correcting negativity through gratitude and staying general rather than focused on life's details. Etheridge describes a major awakening after over-consuming cannabis edibles, later followed by her breast cancer diagnosis, which propelled study of spirituality and plant medicine. She speaks about son Beckett's opioid addiction and death in May 2020, emphasizing, “I cannot get sick enough to make a sick person well.” Etheridge recounts her musical beginnings in Kansas, coming out, early women's-bar circuit, discovery at Pasadena's Vermie's, the “Bring Me Some Water” breakthrough, her bald 2005 Grammy performance during chemo, and writing her new album “Rise,” including “Call You.” They discuss advice for LGBTQ people and parents, and she advises LZ for his upcoming duet with Kelly Clarkson, then sings a snippet of “I Wanna Come Over.”Timestamp Menu: 00:00 Welcome You Are Beautiful01:07 Why This Podcast Exists03:03 Melissa Mirror Work05:01 Oneness Gratitude Reset09:16 Advice For Angry Mornings13:44 Awakening Cancer And Cannabis18:15 Loss And Loving Through Addiction24:51 Leavenworth Roots First Guitar27:10 Coming Out And Early Career29:51 Finding Work in LA30:12 Underground Women's Scene30:48 Label Pressure and Coming Out32:36 Breakthrough Single Origins36:07 Chemo and Grammy Comeback39:38 Awards and Artistic Purpose40:57 Songwriting Process and Inspiration43:18 Rise Album and Personal Loss46:13 Strength, Identity, and Community48:29 Advice for LGBTQ People and Parents52:16 Duet Prep and Stage Confidence55:06 Romance, Stalker Song, and Farewell

Another candid update from Ben Plumley on life with stage four colorectal cancer, focusing on one of the most under appreciated challenges of treatment: the daily battle to eat. Treatment Update — Ben is continuing maintenance chemotherapy and awaiting a PET scan at the end of June. The goal is non-progression — holding the cancer steady — which counts as a win. --- 01:30 - The Food Fight — Ben breaks down why eating has become such a struggle, covering two main culprits: the cancer itself and the side effects of chemotherapy -which damages the digestive tract lining and causes nausea, taste changes, and mouth and jaw pain. 03:37 - Taste Changes Explained — Ben describes the layered impact on his senses: from persistent metallic taste, a sulfuric reaction to eggs and squash, to complete tastelessness , and to brights including orange juice and alpine milk chocolate. 09:29 - Cannabinoids as a Tool — After a referral through Kaiser's infectious disease department, Ben has incorporated CBD tinctures into his routine. 13:56 - And on a genuinely uplifting note, Ben's vegetable garden is thriving with fruit and vegetables - a reminder that the garden remains a vital source of calm and energy throughout his journey.

After finding a lump herself, Jessica moved through the overwhelming sequence of imaging, biopsies, chemotherapy, double mastectomy, radiation, reconstruction delays, implant complications, DIEP flap reconstruction, tamoxifen, and Verzenio.But as Jessica shares so honestly, one of the hardest parts was not only the treatment itself. It was the waiting: waiting for results, waiting for a plan, waiting to know what came next, and trying to live inside the uncertainty.This conversation is for anyone who has ever thought, “I just need a plan.” It is for anyone who has felt overwhelmed by the number of medications, appointments, side effects, and decisions that come with breast cancer. And it is especially for anyone who has reached the end of active treatment only to realize there is still so much more to navigate.Support the showListener FeedbackIf this episode resonated with you, we invite you to leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.You can also click the link in the show notes that says "Love this episode?

Results from the OPTIMA trial suggest that people with early-stage hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that seems to have a high risk of recurrence based on clinical features — like a high number of positive lymph nodes — may be able to safely skip chemotherapy if they have a low Prosigna risk of recurrence score. The findings were presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. Iain MacPherson, professor of breast oncology at the University of Glasgow, was chief investigator of the study. Listen to the episode to hear Dr. MacPherson explain: the design and results of the OPTIMA study why he thinks the trial results are groundbreaking whether or not the results apply to men with this type of breast cancer

Millions of people with breast cancer could safely avoid chemotherapy as scientists have developed a groundbreaking DNA test. We speak to an oncologist who has been involved in the research and a woman who has gone through chemotherapy after a breast cancer diagnosis. Also on the programme: we hear from the Romanian president on the Russian drone that hit an apartment block in the east of the country; and a preview of tonight's Champions League football final between Paris St Germain and the London club Arsenal.

It's Mailbag Friday! You've got questions, we've got answers. Segment 1 • James asks for advice on repairing his relationships with his children. • Anonymous wonders if casual swearing reveals a deeper heart issue — or even a lack of desire to honor Christ. Segment 2 • Jeff asks: “When is it finally appropriate to draw hard boundaries with unbelievers?” • Anonymous wrestles with a difficult medical question: Is refusing chemotherapy an act of faith… or presumption? • Glen asks how Christians can tell whether a Bible verse applies directly to believers today without ripping it out of context. Segment 3 • Laramie admits that the thought of living forever sometimes feels overwhelming — is that fear normal for Christians? • Jonathan asks how pastors should faithfully preach through massive Old Testament books without losing their congregation. • Would spending an entire year preaching through Psalms or Isaiah actually be wise? Segment 4 • Megan asks whether Christians really have guardian angels — or if that idea comes more from tradition than Scripture. • Jess wonders if dreams that seem prophetic are truly from God or something else entirely. • Jeff questions whether believers calling each other “queen,” “king,” and “prince” reflects Christian identity… or worldly thinking. • Anonymous asks why marriage is often emphasized more than full-time ministry when both are high callings. • Alan wrestles with a sobering question during Pride Month: Is pride the root beneath every other sin? ___ Thanks for listening!

What if the story you've been told about your diagnosis… isn't the only one available to you? In this uplifting episode, I sit down with Mark Ruegg, a Stage IV pancreatic cancer thriver whose awe-inspiring journey reinforced what I know is possible when it comes to healing. I first heard about Mark after two different people told me I had to hear his story — and after listening for myself, I had to have him on the podcast. Incredibly, he credits the HEAL Documentary for inspiring a sense of hope and possibility after his diagnosis. It brings me so much JOY to know the film continues to inspire this community to take your healing and transformation into your own hands! After being told his cancer was inoperable and incurable, Mark found himself standing between two very different worlds—one rooted in fear, prognosis, and limitation… and another rooted in possibility, belief, and the body's capacity to heal. What he chose changed everything.  We talk about the moment he came across the HEAL Documentary — and how that experience, along with others who had walked this path before him, helped him borrow belief when he didn't yet have it on his own. This conversation explores the deeper layers of healing that often go unspoken — how fear can live beneath the surface even when life looks “good”… why belief may be the foundation everything else rests on… and how learning to get quiet, listen inward, and regulate the nervous system can open the door to guidance you didn't know was available. Mark shares the shifts he made across every area of his life — from the way he moved his body, to how he nourished it, to the way he thought, felt, and related to his diagnosis. We explore the power of community, environment, and emotional energy — and why healing isn't just physical, but deeply mental, emotional, and spiritual. This conversation isn't about denying reality — it's about expanding it. It's about what can happen when you stop outsourcing your power… and start actively participating in your healing. If you or someone you love is navigating a diagnosis — or simply searching for a new way to approach health, resilience, and life — this episode will open your mind to what might be possible. Key Moments You'll Love ✨ :

The Person Before Treatment Geoffrey's life before diagnosis: 30 years old, living in New York and Sydney, feeling infallible, driven by professional ambition. And Adam's contrast — a father of two at 45, diagnosed only because he went to a cardiologist after his brother-in-law died. 07:00 – The Diagnosis: Two Very Different Moments Geoffrey's blood clot in the night that saved his life. Adam's cardiologist scan that caught a mass nobody expected. The two very different ways a diagnosis lands — one like a movie, one like a text message. 13:00 – Four Days vs. Six Weeks: The Window Before Treatment Geoffrey had four days between diagnosis and chemotherapy. Adam had six weeks. What that difference does to your mind, your fear, your processing — and why no two cancer stories are the same. 17:00 – The Thing Nobody Tells Young Adults: Fertility The Vanderbilt study that found 50% of young adults diagnosed with cancer are never told about their fertility options before treatment. Geoffrey's sperm banking story. Adam's moment of levity. The organizations that exist to help — and why you should use them. 23:00 – Chemotherapy: The Reality Nobody Films Steroids that make you feel like Batman. Fatigue that puts you to bed at 1 PM. The taste of treatment — Geoffrey's: a burning Nike Air Max. Adam's: Sour Patch Kids and Shrek's condom. The rhythm of treatment cycles and the crash that follows. 30:00 – Hair Loss: The Moment It Hits You Not just the hair on your head — all of it. Geoffrey's Jewish mohawk and the cat photos. Adam's man bun, the shower, the wall of clumps, the hairdresser call. Why the eyebrows and eyelashes are the part nobody prepares you for. 37:00 – Going Out in Public Without Eyebrows Geoffrey at his best friend's wedding, feeling like a freak. Adam at a bar mitzvah two weeks post-treatment, cancer beanie and all. Why "you look great" hits differently when you don't recognize yourself in the photos. 42:00 – Tribes, Villages & Crisis Language Geoffrey's lesson: his tribe was too small — just his wife and the cat. The mistake he'd change. Adam's: an oversharer married to a shield, learning to lean on his guy friends so his wife didn't have to carry everything. What "crisis language as a couple" actually means. 49:00 – Tolerance for Bullshit: The Larry David Effect What cancer does to your patience for other people's bravado. Geoffrey's bar story, running out into Times Square and crashing full speed into Elmo. The anger that's real, and the work it takes not to carry it forever. 55:00 – The Biannual Check-In: A Framework for Purposeful Change A scheduled, structured personal evaluation every six months — professional path, relationships, health, direction. The check-in that led Geoffrey to leave the Wall Street Journal after 21 years. Why you can't make the changes when the warning lights are flashing; you have to make them later, in clarity. 61:00 – Scanxiety: The Incurable Side Effect of Survivorship Geoffrey's scan is next Wednesday. He started thinking about it two weeks ago. The reality that scanxiety doesn't diminish with time — it sometimes gets worse. What helps, what stops helping, and why there's no permanent answer. 66:00 – After Treatment: The Part Nobody Celebrates The financial reality: bill negotiations, illegal anesthesiologist charges, state-specific protections, hospital programs for lower-income patients. Life insurance rejection at 35. Career decisions constrained by healthcare costs. The bills that arrive 18 months later asking "didn't I already pay this?" 73:00 – Ambition After Cancer: Don't Change the Level, Change the Lane The advice from career coach Michelle Woodward: keep the same level of ambition even if you have to find a different lane. Geoffrey's Hong Kong trip — the first time after treatment he felt like himself professionally again. Adam's silver lining of leaning into tech during treatment. 79:00 – Writing It Down: The Value of Documentation Adam's Super Whisper app diary — before and after every treatment session. Geoffrey's 14 years of running away from his cancer story, and what writing the book finally unlocked. Why every survivor should find their version of processing. 85:00 – I'm Alive: Now What? — The Book Geoffrey's nine-chapter guide for survivors — money, career, physical health, mental health, family planning, caregiving, purpose, the business of advice — built around real people's stories paired with expert guidance. Pre-order at after-treatment.com/the-book. 91:00 – Are You Getting the Support You Need? Geoffrey's question for Adam — and for every survivor. The cancer imposter syndrome that comes with a high-survival-rate diagnosis. Why you can't let anyone take away what you went through, and why the work doesn't end at remission. 97:00 – North Stars: What Keeps You Focused Geoffrey's: a willingness to change his North Star — short-term, practical, written down, evaluated regularly. Adam's: being the best example for his kids and leaving the world better than he found it. How cancer changes your definition of success. 104:00 – 500 Episodes: Thank You Adam closes the milestone episode with gratitude — for the guests, the listeners, seven years of consistency, and what comes next.   TAKEAWAYS: 1. The Diagnosis Is Never Like the Movies — Except When It Is Geoffrey's came in an ER at 30. Adam's in a text from his cardiologist. No two stories are the same — but both changed everything. 2. 50% of Young Adult Cancer Patients Are Never Told About Fertility Options A Vanderbilt study found half of young adults aren't counseled on fertility preservation before treatment starts. The window is measured in days. Make sure this conversation happens first. 3. The Biannual Check-In Is the Most Powerful Tool for Purposeful Change Twice a year, scheduled, with a workbook: evaluate your path, relationships, and direction — in calm, not crisis. The check-in that led Geoffrey to leave 21 years at the Wall Street Journal. 4. Don't Change the Level of Your Ambition — Change the Lane If cancer takes away what you were world-class at, find another lane at the same level. Don't shrink. Redirect. That's not a lesser life — it's a different one. 5. Your Relationship With Time and Bullshit Changes — But Differently for Everyone Every survivor agrees on two things: time feels different, and their tolerance for bullshit has shifted. Geoffrey went full Larry David. Adam found unexpected clarity. The work is figuring out which version of you emerged. 6. Cancer Exposes Your Crisis Language as a Couple The couples who survive this well learn how to communicate what they need, what not to say, and what to let breathe. It's practiced, not instinctive. 7. Scanxiety Is Real, Incurable, and Changes Over Time What helped before may stop helping. Survivors need to plan for this, not be surprised by it. 8. The Financial Reckoning Comes Long After Treatment Ends Medical bills stay higher forever. Many are negotiable. Some are illegal. Own the advocacy, ask the questions, build the spreadsheet. 9. Write It Down — In Whatever Form Works for You Adam used Super Whisper before and after every treatment. Geoffrey wrote a book 14 years later. The form doesn't matter. Externalizing the experience gives you a time capsule you can go back to. 10. Are You Getting the Support You Need? Just the honest, periodic question. What you went through is not nothing — and the work doesn't end at remission. 11. You Are Different Now — Not Better or Worse. Different. Not better, not worse. Fundamentally changed in ways that can't be fully accounted for. That difference isn't a loss. The work is learning to live in the new timeline.  

Due to a family emergency, we are not able to record this week. If you would, please keep my mother in law in your prayers. Her name is Janet and her cancer has been in remission for over a year but it has returned in three different areas. We appreciate you!

She explains the biology in plain language, so you can understand what is actually happening in your body during chemotherapy.You will hear what early human studies found when cancer patients fasted around their chemotherapy cycles. These are small but meaningful studies, and the results showed signals that researchers and clinicians are continuing to investigate.Chapters:00:04:12 - The Advice That Might Be Missing00:05:58 - Why Chemo Damages Healthy Cells00:10:02 - How Fasting Changes the Battlefield00:12:18 - What Early Human Cases Revealed00:14:36 - Fewer Side Effects and Faster Recovery00:17:05 - The Study That Tested This in Patients00:19:22 - Why Dose Reductions Matter More Than You Think00:21:40 - The Truth About Weight and Muscle Loss00:24:05 - The Drug Almost Everyone Gets00:26:18 - Are Steroids May Work Against You?00:31:02 - The Tumor Response00:33:25 - What We Still Do Not Know00:36:45 - The Question to Ask Before Your Next CycleStay until the end to hear the specific question you can ask your oncologist at your next appointment, a question that could change how your treatment feels from the very first cycle.Press play and understand what the research shows, and what it could mean for you.Dr. Katie's LIVE Fasting and Chemo Workshop is May 12 at 4pm PT.

Every single person in his seven-day retreats produced their own endogenous opioids. Their own internal pharmacy of pain relief. Surgery didn't do it. Chemo didn't. Neither did the ketogenic diet, the vegan protocol, or the raw food plan. One intervention worked across 63 different chronic diseases. Meditation. He also shares that 84% of advanced meditators carry factors in their blood that actively stop cancer from spreading. And after seven days of immersive practice, 80% of participants begin expressing the same genes regardless of their individual backgrounds. The science is quiet and stunning.

If your doctor said chemotherapy is your only option, would you automatically say yes? If you or someone you love is facing a cancer diagnosis, or you simply want to do everything you can to prevent it, this conversation may completely change the way you think about healing, health, and the questions you should be asking right now. Today, I'm joined by my good friend, Chris Wark. Chris was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer at just 26 years old, shortly after getting married. After surgery, his doctors told him chemotherapy was required, but Chris chose a different path. He radically changed his diet, leaned into his faith, and over the last two decades has remained cancer-free. He later turned that experience into Chris Beat Cancer, a platform that has helped millions of people find hope, guidance, and practical support. In our conversation, we talked about what it really means to take ownership of your health, especially when the stakes couldn't be higher. We explore the mindset shift from being a passive patient to becoming an active participant in your healing, along with the role faith, nutrition, and lifestyle can play when you're facing one of the most difficult moments of your life. We also dive into the questions many people never think to ask their oncologist, why Chris believes healing begins with believing it's possible, and how forgiveness, gratitude, and reducing stress can impact your health in powerful ways.
