Chris Schuler opens up about his experience as a caregiver, navigating the challenges of neurodegeneration, particularly his father's glioblastoma diagnosis. He shares the emotional turmoil, confusion, along with the overwhelming process of navigating the healthcare system. The conversation underscores the importance of raising awareness and understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and their impact on families. We also delve into the problematic nature of the 'standard of care' in oncology, highlighting the critical need to advocate for yourself. Check out the article Samira referenced towards the end of this episode here. My Cancer GPS™ is coming! Step-by-step subway maps that guide you through the entire cancer experience. Learn more here!⁠ Key Highlights: 1. Self-advocacy is critical in getting the care that's best for you, so ask questions, and get involved. Your healthcare team cares for you and wants to see you back on your feet, but no one can care more than you do. 2. Caregivers need to look after themselves, too. It can feel like there's no room for yourself, but you must find joy. Find joy so that you can cherish whoever is under your care. 3. The role of a caregiver is both rewarding and demanding. Being an advocate for a loved one is a necessary responsibility because the standard is not always the best care you can receive for your individual case. About our guest: Chris Schuler is a staunch brain cancer awareness advocate. He was the primary caregiver to his late Dad, Donald Schuler, who was diagnosed with GBM in July 2021. He works closely with organizations across the globe, amplifying their critical work and building key relationships to further improve outcomes for patients. He recently finished a year-long consultancy with Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, an Australian non-profit dedicated to improving outcomes in brain cancer. He's currently a Venture Partner with Varia Ventures, working to raise awareness for emerging venture funds dedicated to uncovering and funding innovative discoveries to improve brain health. He also works closely with SageMedic, a precision oncology start-up supporting patients looking for the most effective treatment for cancer. Chris continues on as his Dad's caregiver — caregiver to his life, legacy and memory.     At 33 minutes and 18 seconds: “From that very moment, I went from being a lot of things in my life, being a son, a nephew, a grandson, a friend, eventually an uncle, a husband, a father. Now I am a caregiver. I want to say nothing prepared me for that. Everything prepared me for that. The way I was raised, everything I experienced in my life, every up, every down, every victory, every rejection, everything led to this moment where I am now my dad's caregiver with my mom. I call myself the primary caregiver because there was something she couldn't do for him, and how do you become an advocate? How do you take on what seems insurmountable? And I say to any listeners, you can do it. You have what's in you to do it, to be the very best caregiver, because all you need is one prerequisite to be a caregiver. You need to be able to love. If you can love, you are a caregiver.” Disclaimer: All content and information provided in connection with Manta Cares is solely intended for informational and educational purposes only.  This content and information is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Introducing Lance Kawaguchi, CEO of Cure Brain Cancer Foundation (CBCF). Lance's personal journey in the fight against cancer began in 2016 when his family was unexpectedly affected by the disease. The devastating news came in the form of a tearful call from his usually composed father, informing him of his mother Katherine's Stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis. With a prognosis of just a few months to live, Lance's world was turned upside down. Driven by his personal experience, Lance embarked on a mission to make a difference in the fight against cancer. After conducting extensive research on causes and organisations, he was appointed CEO of Cure Brain Cancer Foundation in January 2021. Based in Australia, CBCF focuses on research, advocacy, and awareness both locally and globally under Lance's leadership. In his initial months as CEO, Lance led the digital transformation of the organization, a crucial step especially in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns in Australia. By streamlining the team, refining their focus, and implementing a fully digital platform, CBCF experienced its most successful year to date in 2021 and 2022. Notably, the introduction of the first-ever digital walk for brain cancer raised $1.9 million. Before joining the non-profit sector, Lance spent 25 years in the finance and banking industry, holding global roles that took him across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East. His diverse experience and expertise have positioned him well to lead CBCF and make a tangible impact on the organisation's growth and initiatives. Lance's efforts have garnered recognition and accolades, including fulfilling a lifelong dream of ringing the opening bell at Nasdaq's MarketSite in Times Square. During this momentous occasion, he emphasized the significance of global collaboration and the establishment of a U.S. affiliate to expand the organization's reach andimpact. Under Lance's guidance, CBCF has not only increased its funding but also embraced digital offerings to engage communities in Australia and worldwide. One notable accomplishment is the launch of the world's largest brain cancer-dedicated Clinical Accelerator program, supporting early-stage biotechnology companies in advancing innovative therapeutics. A testament to CBCF's commitment to ground-breaking research, the foundation led critical funding for the introduction of the revolutionary GBM AGILE trial in Australia. This substantial investment of $8 million allows Australian patients to access previously unavailable experimental therapies, significantly improving treatment options. Beyond his role at CBCF, Lance serves as Chairman of various organizations, including the Kendall Nicole Eich Foundation, Kim's Hope, Glioblastoma Research Organization (GBMRO), and Asian Fund for Cancer Research (AFCR). He is also a valued member of the Board of Directors for the National Foundation for Cancer Research, a Strategic Advisor for the Cancer Research Institute (CRI), and a Strategic Advisor for the AIM-HI Accelerator Fund. To further raise awareness and support for rare cancers, Lance will embark on a ground-breaking challenge at the end of 2023—a first-ever brain cancer charity trek to the South Pole. Through this endeavour, Lance aims to unite charitable organisations worldwide, rallying for increased research, funding, and treatments for paediatric and childhood brain cancer. Lance Kawaguchi's dedication and influential leadership continue to leave a lasting impact on the fight against cancer, inspiring hope, and progress in the pursuit of a cure. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mark-longbottom2/message

Lance Kawaguchi, the CEO of Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, is this episode's guest. As Lance and Brooke discuss, there has been very little progress made in the treatment of brain cancer in the last few decades, despite the fact that brain cancer has such a terrible impact on the people afflicted with it, including young children. However, Cure Brain Cancer Foundation has started to change that. The Foundation's strategy is to get treatments to patients faster by funding research across the entire research pathway. In addition, the Foundation provides support to patients and their families who are dealing with this very difficult disease. Great strides are finally being in the brain cancer treatment field, and Cure Brain Cancer Foundation is at the forefront of them.  (0:26).    Website:  https://www.curebraincancer.org.au/home

Annabelle Wilson met her husband when she was 19 years old. He had already been diagnosed with brain cancer and had been given 18 months to live. He was 22 years old. They ended up sharing ten beautiful years together. They got married and then Annabelle fell pregnant. When she was seven months pregnant, her loving husband, Josh, lost his battle with cancer. Annabelle gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Primrose, a couple of months later on Josh's birthday. In this episode, Annabelle shares her story.   She also talks about: how she keeps Josh's memory alive for her now, almost 3-year-old, daughter, how they managed to not let the cancer prognosis affect what they did with their lives, the confusing time between Josh's death and the two months leading up to their daughter's birth, how she managed grief and becoming a new mum at the same time, what dating has been like since then, having a new partner and how that has been plus the associated guilt, her work with the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, her advice for other women going through the same thing, and so much more.

That’s a lot of new mouths to feed and those hockey stick growth projections we all saw as kids is now actually happening. In this talk, Mark will address the myriad of severe challenges in feeding ‘the next 2 billion’ people, some emerging solutions with their respective advantages & disadvantages, and the worldwide leadership imperative required to address such a truly global challenge.

His Australian clients have included CBA, Telstra, AMP, the NRMA, Challenger, Clearview Financial, Financial Wisdom and Colonial First State. He’s also been an Advisor to Cure Brain Cancer Foundation in Australia. Conversation Notes - As countries get richer they consume more resource-heavy foods – thus placing more pressure on the global food distribution system. - The solution stems from two markets: which production methods could assist an increase in supply or which consumption means could manage demand? - An assessment of the scalability and viability of initiatives such as rooftop gardens, container farms, vertical farms and urban farms is often overlooked. - In the last five years there’s been dramatic improvement decision-making but going forward, solving the waste problem is not addressing the issue. - “On an individual level, if we all ate lower on the food chain – it would have a profound impact on the health of the world population”.

It is with great sadness that I let you know that my friend and co-Beer Drinking Scientist, Darren Osborne, passed away in January after a brave battle with brain cancer.I've put a few words up over on the BDS website, so I'll direct you over there if you would like to have a look or if you would like to make a charitable donation to the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation. The clips in this show might not be new to Mr Science Show listeners, but they are new to those who listened to BDS and are a nice collection of irreverent and ridiculous scientific conversations between us.
