On our podcast last year, Roxayn Elmer of Utah shared how her elderly mother beat Stage 4 ovarian cancer with cannabis therapy, low-dose chemo, and methylene blue. Recently, new scans showed a spot on her liver and active lymph nodes and doctors pushed for more chemo. Instead, Roxayn turned to cannabis oil suppositories, something she first learned about right here on this podcast. After three months, the latest scan showed no evidence of disease.

Send us a textI'm excited to introduce Irene—@irenieeweeniee—who turned a corporate layoff and months of misdiagnoses into a mission. After learning she had ovarian cancer, she started editing food videos on her phone and sharing her story on TikTok. What began as a way to cope became a platform for honest storytelling and women's healthcare advocacy.Irene's roots run through the SGV. Her immigrant parents ran a Thai restaurant, and weekends here taught her the hustle behind small businesses and where to find the real hidden gems. That perspective shapes everything she creates now: restaurant spotlights, must-try dishes, and a sprinkle of beauty content—always practical, upbeat, and community-minded.In this episode, we dig into how she navigated misdiagnosis, what helped her advocate for herself, and how she built momentum posting straight from a phone. We get tactical about consistency, captions, voiceover, and staying human on camera—plus how creators can responsibly shine a light on mom-and-pop restaurants across the San Gabriel Valley.If Irene's journey resonates, drop a comment with your SGV hidden gem and something you've learned from her content.

Two New Zealanders who took drastic steps to prevent deadly hereditary cancers recently informed Parliament that insurance discrimination is stopping others from doing the same - costing lives as a result. As part of AGenDA's campaign to end 'genetic discrimination', Jody Bews-Hair and Julian Grennell urged the Government to protect Kiwis from being penalised by insurers for their genetic test results. Jody Bews-Hair says genetic testing saves lives, and people should be encouraged to take the tests without fear. "Anything that encourages people to get testing is really important, because it literally saves lives - and it ultimately saves money down the track. It's a lot cheaper to fund a prophylactic surgery or screening than it is to fund 10 years of cancer treatment." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As an oncology nurse practitioner at NCI's Clinical Center and wife of FDA's Richard Pazdur, Mary Pazdur knew cancer drug development inside and out. When she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she and Rick got to know “the other side of the stethoscope.” In his 25 year career at FDA, Rick has shaped the FDA approach to drug approval, setting forth a set of criteria accepted by drug companies, academics and NCI. And for 16 years, Mary was by his side, with compassion, intuition, and practicality. She was described by one colleague as having a “combination of efficiency and great humanity, [...] compassion and strength.” This interview with Rick and Mary Pazdur was recorded in 2015, a few months before she died, and was conducted by Ellen Stovall, three-time cancer survivor and pioneering patient advocate, on behalf of the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship. Stovall also died a few months later—in January 2016—from cardiac complications due to her cancer treatments.This episode is accompanied by a robust archive about Rick and Mary Pazdur, as well as further reading about Ellen Stovall. Read more at https://cancerhistoryproject.com/article/rick-and-mary-pazdur/

Hollywood actor Tim Pocock was tricked by his dying, devout mother into undergoing gay conversion therapy. After she died, Tim finally learned how to be himself, without fear and self-loathing.Tim grew up under the thumb of his charismatic, pious mother.He went to a school with links to the controversial, secretive and conservative Catholic organisation, Opus Dei.There, he desperately tried to hide his sexuality, and was ruthlessly bullied for his musical and stage talents.Despite Tim's success in Australian opera, television, and in Hollywood blockbusters, he continued to harbour many secrets about himself and his family.One day his mother, who loved Tim deeply in her own way, and who was dying from ovarian cancer, convinced her only son to come with her to therapy. Instead of finally being able to talk about his struggles, Tim found himself being tricked into gay conversion therapy.For the last few months of his mother's life, he went to be hypnotised by a 'Catholic psychologist' every week, until eventually she died, and Tim was set free to learn how live by and for himself.Further informationThe Truth Will Set You Free: Growing up gay in Opus Dei is published by Hachette.You can stream the Four Corners report into schools with ties to Opus Dei, which features Tim, on ABC iview.The Pared Foundation's full responses to questions from Four Corners can be read here.Opus Dei Australia provided Four Corners with this statement.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris and presented by Richard Fidler.

Jennifer Vertentes was a police officer in Providence Rhode Island when she decided to go to Hasbro Children's Hospital on Thanksgiving Day of 2018 to meet kids who had to spend their Thanksgiving being treated for different reasons, including being treated for Pediatric Cancer. While she was there she met 3 year old Emerson Lucier who was going through her 3rd battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia . This meeting inspired Jennifer to start her HERO PACKAGE FOUNDATION to help put a smile on the faces of these kids who were battling these difficult diseases. Jennifer, who in 2023 had to retire from the Police Department after suffering an injury while trying to save a person who was drowning, was also diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer that year. Fortunately for the Pediatric Cancer community, she continues to help these kids as she deals with her disease, that fortunately was diagnosed at a very early stage.

BUFFALO, NY - June 3, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on May 19, 2025, titled “PRDX1 protects ATM from arsenite-induced proteotoxicity and maintains its stability during DNA damage signaling." In this study, led by first author Reem Ali and corresponding author Dindial Ramotar from Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar, researchers discovered that a protein called PRDX1 helps maintain the stability of ATM, a key protein involved in repairing damaged DNA, especially when cells are under stress from arsenite exposure. The study found that without PRDX1, cells lose their ability to repair DNA and become more sensitive to chemotherapy. This finding suggests that targeting PRDX1 could improve the success of some cancer treatments. PRDX1 is already known for its role in protecting cells from oxidative damage, but this study shows it also plays a role in the DNA repair process. ATM is an essential protein that detects breaks in DNA and starts the repair process. When PRDX1 is missing, ATM is rapidly lost, especially when cells are exposed to arsenite, a toxic substance found in the environment. Without ATM, the DNA repair system fails, leaving cells more vulnerable to damage. By using both human cell lines and clinical samples from ovarian cancer patients, the team showed that high levels of PRDX1, along with ATM and MRE11 (another DNA repair protein), were linked to tumors' aggressive features and lower patient survival rates. This pattern suggests that tumors with high PRDX1 may resist chemotherapy by increasing their DNA repair capacity. On the other hand, removing PRDX1 weakened the repair system and made cancer cells more responsive to DNA-damaging platinum drugs. The study also showed that combining low doses of arsenite with drugs that either block ATM or damage DNA caused a much higher rate of cancer cell death in cells that lacked PRDX1. These results suggest a new treatment approach: lowering PRDX1 levels to make cancer cells more sensitive to DNA-damaging platinum therapies already in use. This highlights PRDX1 not only as a protector of cell function but also as a potential weak point in cancer cells. “As such, we propose that small molecule inhibitors of PRDX1, or single nucleotide polymorphisms that compromise PRDX1 function, in combination with low doses of arsenite can be exploited to treat chemo-resistant tumours.” These findings open the door for the use of PRDX1 as a biomarker to predict treatment response and as a promising target for new combination therapies. For patients with ovarian cancer and potentially other tumors, adjusting PRDX1 levels may help overcome drug resistance and improve outcomes.

In this deeply personal episode, Mark Chesnut returns to Grief Out Loud to share his experience of losing his sister Glynn to ovarian cancer. Glynn chose medical aid in dying after nearly four years of treatment, giving Mark and his family the unusual experience of knowing when death would occur. This conversation explores the complexity of "scheduled death," the challenges of finding appropriate language to discuss medical aid in dying, and how knowing the date changed their family's grieving process. Mark Chesnut is a journalist, editor, public speaker, and the author of: Prepare for Departure.  Mark previously appeared on Grief Out Loud in October 2022, discussing caring for his mother at the end of her life. Mark lives in New York City with his husband Angel and recently wrote an article about his sister's experience with medical aid in dying.  This episode is the second in our 2025 three-part series highlighting the voices of communities who have historically been underrepresented in the grief world. The series is part of an ongoing collaboration between Dougy Center and The New York Life Foundation. We are deeply grateful for New York Life Foundation's tireless support and advocacy for children and teens who are grieving. Grief Out Loud is a production of Dougy Center, the National Grief Center for Children and Families in Portland, Oregon.

Biopharmas developing therapies for obesity are looking to a future where the quality of weight loss matters as much as the quantity — what targets and programs could help realize that vision? On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury's editors discuss the signaling pathways that may exclusively target fat mass while preserving, or even increasing, lean mass — and which companies are playing in the space.The editors also assess what Vinay Prasad's past comments say about how he might lead FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) — and examine how investors are evaluating the possibility that he might move the bar for regulatory approvals. The team then introduces the first in a new BioCentury series, with a look at a Literature Dive into ovarian cancer “atlases” — large-scale molecular profiling studies that point to predictive signatures and patient stratification strategies.
