April is Cancer Awareness Month in Canada, and we reconnect with Jack Adam-winning coach Ted Nolan for a powerful and personal update on his journey living with multiple myeloma. He shares how the past year has shaped his day-to-day life, the physical and emotional realities of managing the disease and the perspective he's gained along the way. The conversation also takes a deeper look at the system around him—highlighting gaps in care for patients in Alberta, the importance of receiving treatment closer to home and what still needs to improve for those navigating a similar diagnosis. Then, we shift from the personal to the playoffs. With the Edmonton Oilers gearing up for another postseason run, Ted Nolan breaks down why this group might be different and what it will take to finally get over the hump. A candid, insightful conversation that blends resilience, advocacy and a little playoff optimism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
