Learn the terms healthcare teams use after cancer treatment is complete, and why they hesitate to use the word "cured."  https://bit.ly/3FfnfUxAdvances in cancer diagnosis, screening, and treatment have greatly improved the 5-year survival rates of most people with cancer over the last 30 years. Long-term survivors of cancer are more and more common, and research is increasingly directed at helping people live well after a diagnosis of cancer. But even so, many oncologists still hesitate to use the word “cure” with their patients.

Caste — one of the oldest systems of exclusion in the world — is thriving. Despite the ban on Untouchability 70 years ago, caste impacts 1.9 billion people in the world. Every 15 minutes, a crime is perpetrated against a Dalit person. The average age of death for Dalit women is just 39. And the wreckages of caste are replicated here in the US, too — erupting online with rape and death threats, showing up at work, and forcing countless Dalits to live in fear of being outed. Dalit American activist Thenmozhi Soundararajan puts forth a call to awaken and act — not just for readers in South Asia, but all around the world. She ties Dalit oppression to fights for liberation among Black, Indigenous, Latinx, femme, and Queer communities, examining caste from a feminist, abolitionist, and Dalit Buddhist perspective and laying bare the grief, trauma, rage, and stolen futures enacted by Brahminical social structures on the caste-oppressed. Incisive and urgent, her book The Trauma of Caste is an activating beacon of healing and liberation, written by one of the world's most needed voices in the fight to end caste apartheid. Thenmozhi Soundararajan is the author of The Trauma of Caste: A Dalit Feminist Meditation on Survivorship, Healing, and Abolition. She is a Dali- American artist, organizer, technologist, and theorist and the Executive Director of Equality Labs.   The post The Trauma of Caste: A Dalit Feminist Meditation on Survivorship, Healing, and Abolition (encore) appeared first on KPFA.

Welcome to another solo episode. This topic has come up several times with guests and I wanted to do a whole episode on it because it's that important and it's not talked about enough.Some say survivorship starts as soon as you are diagnosed. I think it should be defined as everything that happens after the end of active treatment. Sounds like what we all want, right? Treatment done, no evidence of disease, back to normal life. Unfortunately, it's often not that simple. It can be very emotional and not necessarily in a good way. Let's discuss...This episode is for everyone! I talk to people going through active treatment right now, those who have finished active treatment and may be experiencing this emotional roller coaster, and caregivers/family/friends.We talk a lot about normalizing cancer and treatment. We need to normalize the emotions of survivorship as well.And the podcast is almost a year old!!! The first episode launched on March 5, 2024. Happy Anniversary to The Many Faces of Cancer!!!

In this episode, we welcome Jeannie Wiarda, LMSW, a Medical Social Worker at the Adult Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant Center at Corewell Health in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Jeannie has been a Medical Social Worker at Corewell Health for 20 years including 14 years in Hospice and Palliative Care Inpatient; time in the Emergency Room prior to that, and has currently spent three years in bone marrow transplant. Jeannie provides insight into her work with transplant patients, particularly those navigating chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), offering a comprehensive view of her role and strategies for supporting survivors through their journeys.Jeannie explains that her role as a social worker encompasses the entire transplant process—from the pre-transplant evaluation to post-transplant care. She helps patients address barriers like financial challenges, housing, and psychological trauma, tailoring support to each individual's unique needs. Her involvement extends through the hospital stay and into recovery, offering continuity of care during this vulnerable time.A key theme is the interplay between stress, trauma, and the transplant experience. Jeannie highlights the impact of chronic stress on the brain, emphasizing the importance of caregivers who provide practical and emotional support. She underscores the necessity of self-care for caregivers, advocating for planned respite and support systems to sustain their well-being.Jeannie shares actionable strategies for patients and caregivers to find hope and purpose amid the challenges of GVHD. These include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, engaging in fulfilling activities, and staying connected with others. She stresses the value of education, encouraging patients to leverage resources like the nbmtLINK, BMT InfoNet, LLS, and the GVHD Alliance to empower themselves with knowledge and advocacy skills.Jeannie emphasizes finding ways to “live life” despite the limitations GVHD may impose. She recalls stories of patients adapting activities to their current abilities, referencing another podcast by the LINK where we talked to a survivor who switched to an e-bike for outdoor exploration. Jeannie also advocates for fostering connections through support groups and meaningful activities, such as volunteering, to regain a sense of purpose.Jeannie concludes with advice on processing grief and fear, embracing compassion, and accessing professional mental health resources, including cognitive behavioral therapy such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), for addressing trauma. Her compassionate, holistic approach demonstrates the profound impact of social work in transforming survivorship into a journey of resilience and empowerment.More:GVHD Alliance: https://www.gvhdalliance.orgLink to LLS free Nutrition Consultations: https://www.lls.org/managing-your-cancer/food-and-nutritionBook: The Body Keeps the Score: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748Thank you to our sponsors.

In today's episode, we talk with Krista Wood, a registered nurse with the Cell Therapy and Transplant Program at Victoria General Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada). Krista shares her invaluable insights and experiences working with patients dealing with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a common complication following stem cell transplants. Our discussion delves into the importance of communication, post-transplant care, and finding joy and purpose during survivorship.Krista emphasizes that early detection and treatment of GVHD are critical. She encourages patients to report any changes, no matter how minor they may seem, and reassures them that healthcare teams are there to help. This open communication is vital, as post-transplant life can be overwhelming with fears of relapse or complications. Ensuring patients have direct access to their care team can ease their anxieties and foster trust.Routine health checks, like blood work and pulmonary function tests, play a crucial role in monitoring potential complications. Krista explains the importance of tracking liver enzymes, bone density, and lung function to catch and address issues early. She underscores that post-transplant care goes beyond the transplant itself, extending to overall health maintenance, including routine screenings like mammograms, dental care, and colorectal exams.Reconnecting with life post-transplant is another important theme. Krista encourages patients to rediscover the activities they loved before their illness, whether it's returning to work, volunteering, or pursuing hobbies. Work and social engagement provide purpose and can aid emotional recovery. For those who can't return to work, finding alternative ways to contribute, such as volunteering with organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or HealthTree, can offer fulfillment and connection. (Note: the National Bone Marrow Transplant Link (nbmtLINK) has a peer mentor program as well, email info@nbmtlink.org if you'd like to be a peer or need a peer mentor. )Preparing for transplant and understanding GVHD beforehand is crucial. While some patients prefer to know everything, others may only want the basics. Krista and her team provide consistent education in manageable increments to help patients absorb key information. She explains factors that increase the risk of GVHD, such as donor characteristics and patient preconditioning, and stresses the importance of entering the transplant process in the best possible physical shape.Krista also highlights the importance of addressing sensitive topics like sexual health, which many patients are reluctant to discuss. She brings up these issues proactively, ensuring patients feel supported and have access to necessary resources.Finally, Krista shares stories of hope, including patients who, despite long-term challenges, have regained a sense of normalcy and fulfillment. She reminds us that while every patient's journey is unique, resilience and adaptation are common threads in their recovery.This episode is a testament to the critical role nurses like Krista play in guiding patients through this complex medical journey, offering care, education, and encouragement every step of the way.More:Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: https://www.lls.orgHealthTree Foundation: https://www.healthtree.orgGVHD Alliance: https://www.gvhdalliance.orgLink to LLS free Nutrition Consultations: https://www.lls.org/managing-your-cancer/food-and-nutritionThank you to our sponsors.

Kitap Kulübü'müzün 47inci buluşmasında Thomas Curran'ın “Mükemmellik Tuzağı” adlı kitabını konuştuk.Curran mükemmellik arayışımızın içinde bulunduğumuz sınırsız büyümeye dayalı kapitalist sistemin bir tuzağı olduğunu söylüyor. Bunun giderek daha büyük bir sorun olduğunu ve bizi bunalıma ittiğini kendimizden ve çevremizden görüyoruz.Mükemmeliyetçiliği başarılı olmanın ön şartı olarak alıyoruz ve bunu olumluyoruz. Başarılı örnekler bize öyle sunuluyor. Ronaldo çok çalışıyor, aşırı disiplinli. Steve Jobs kan kusturuyormuş çalışanlarına her detay için. O dergi kapağındaki CEO, meğer biz yatakta gözümüzü ovuştururken, sporunu, yogasını yapmış, kitabını okumuş, duşunu almış ve maillerini cevaplamış oluyormuş kahvesini yudumlarken. Yeterince başarılı olamadığımızı düşünüyorsak mükemmel olamamaktan kaynaklandığına yani bizim suçlu olduğumuza kanaat getiriyoruz. Survivorship bias'i (sağkalım yanılgısını) kaçırıyoruz. Gördüğümüz örnekler sadece en tepeye çıkanlar. Çok çalışmasına rağmen bu seviyeye gelemeyen onca insanı göz ardı ediyoruz.Benim çok beğendiğim bir tespit de mükemmelliği üçe ayırması ve bu tanımlarla kendimin bir mükemmeliyetçi olmadığımın farkına vardırması. Birinci tip mükemmeliyetçilik insanın kendi içinden gelen, ikinci tip başkalarının beklentilerinden öyle olması gerektiğini düşündüren, üçüncüsü ise kendi kusurlarına kör olup başkalarının mükemmel olmalarını beklemekten ötürü bir mükemmeliyetçilik (yani kendine değil başkasına müslüman bir yaklaşım).Benim derdim ise yüksek standartlara sahip olmak. Yani yaptığım bir şeyin mükemmel olmasını beklemiyorum ama beni tatmin edecek kadar iyi olmalı. Ne farkı var demeyin, ben bu podcasti yapabiliyorsam mükemmel olduğunu düşünmüyorum ama bence yeterince iyi. Mükemmellik takıntısı olanların ise sanırım pek azı bunu hayata geçirebiliyorlar.Peki ne yapalım? Bence kitabı okuyun, hatta önce sohbetimizi dinleyin.

In a conversation with CancerNetwork® at the 2024 Annual Oncology Clinical Practice and Research Summit, Andrew M. Evens, DO, MBA, MSc, spoke about a session he moderated at the meeting, in which he and other panelists highlighted ongoing efforts to improve the quality of care for cancer survivors at his institution.  Evens is the deputy director for Clinical Services at Rutgers Cancer Institute and the system director of Medical Oncology and the oncology lead at RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group. He is also the associate vice chancellor for Clinical Innovation and Data Analytics at Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences. Evens contextualized the presentation by describing various gaps in care for survivors of cancer, particularly among adolescent and young adult populations or those who become “lost in transition” as they switch from pediatric to adulthood survivorship. He emphasized a growing effort to mitigate the risks of post-acute or late effects following prior anti-cancer therapy, which can include cardiac disease, lung disease, or increased infections associated with chemotherapy or radiation.  As part of elevating the level of care for cancer survivors, Evens described the collaborative efforts across different departments at his institution, including medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists; pharmacists; nurses; pathologists; and members of the clinical research team. Other international research projects, including those formed in association with the National Cancer Institute, aim to elucidate the granularity of treatment-related toxicity, which may help inform better survivorship care strategies.  “Survivorship includes many factors,” Evens said. “There are physical and emotional factors, and we want to do everything we can as a comprehensive cancer program, and to do what's best for the patient in a holistic manner. [Beyond the] cancer, it also means the emotional factors and health behavior modifications. For the rest of their life, [we want to] help the patient in every way possible so they can live the most fruitful life. A high quality of life is what we strive for.” Reference Evens A, Cole P, Ligresti L, Manne S. Cancer survivorship: scale, scope, and partnerships for patient-centered care.

On today's episode, we are discussing a topic that affects most women with hormone receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer after they finish their initial treatment and begin navigating survivorship. To lower the risk of recurrence, most women begin taking anti-estrogen therapy, also called hormone therapy or endocrine therapy, but these treatments do not come without the risk of side effects. When side effects become severe, survivors may be faced with the task of weighing the benefits of hormone therapy against the associated side effects. This can be challenging and may even lead them to wonder how much longer they need to continue on the medication. Joining us today to discuss how patients and providers can balance fear of recurrence against potential side effects of treatment and how genomic testing can help guide treatment decisions is a Nurse Practitioner at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Adriana Olivo. This podcast is sponsored by Biotheranostics Inc., a Hologic Company. The Breast Cancer Index test is the only test recognized by the NCCN guidelines and the ASCO Clinical Practice Guideline to predict which patients are likely to benefit from extension of adjuvant anti-estrogen therapy beyond 5 years.

In this episode of Walk, Don't Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD focuses on cancer survivorship and prevention, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle choices. Key takeaways include: Lifestyle and Cancer: Diet, exercise, and weight management are as crucial as conventional cancer treatments like surgery or chemotherapy. Dietary Recommendations: The Mediterranean diet is highlighted for its benefits in reducing cancer recurrence, improving survival rates, and enhancing quality of life.  Though the available research points to the Mediterranean diet being the most widely studied, any omnivorous, whole foods diet is practical here. Exercise & Physical Activity: Regular movement, even brief daily exercises, helps reduce cancer recurrence, boosts mood, and may improve treatment outcomes. Alcohol & Cancer: Moderate alcohol consumption may have health benefits, but overconsumption increases cancer risk. Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight is vital for cancer prevention and survivorship, as excess fat correlates with worse outcomes.

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked emotional journey that begins after cancer treatment ends. Many survivors are left feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. We explore cancer as a traumatic event that leaves a lasting impact, and the critical need to take intentional action to close the trauma loop. By reconnecting to ourselves, others, or even a higher power, we can rediscover joy and purpose after a diagnosis. We are thrilled to introduce Jamie, a cancer survivor herself, who will be leading our new Survivorship Bootcamp. Jamie, armed with both personal experience and professional expertise in social work and positive psychology, will guide survivors through a holistic path toward healing—mind, body, and soul. This episode is about validating the confusion and emotional complexity of survivorship and offering tangible steps to move from surviving to thriving. If you're ready to take the next step toward healing and reconnecting with life post-treatment, we encourage you to join our Survivorship Bootcamp waitlist.

Back to Work as a Breast Cancer Survivor: Reflecting on 3 Months in the Job

Breast Cancer Life

Life has evolved since last year, when I was in my breast cancer screening and diagnosis journey. Not long after I recovered from the mastectomy and reconstruction, I learned how hard it is to be a breast cancer survivor. The psychological aspects of being a survivor, particularly the fear of cancer recurrence, prevailed after the incisions healed. To get a sense of control over survivorship, I realized I had to prioritize sleep, exercise, and nutrition to care for myself. Survivorship takes more energy (mentally for certain) than the screening, diagnosis or surgery ever did.  Early in survivorship, I spent time trying to care for myself. I sought out cancer support resources to get the help I needed to adjust to life as a survivor. Then, earlier this year, I reached a point where I felt like something was missing (not referring to my left breast, which was removed during the mastectomy). I decided it was time to go back to work as a nurse.   In this episode, I look back at three months on the job and talk about how I managed to keep myself from falling apart. I did not perfectly fit in exercise. I lost track of how close I was to the recommended 150 minutes of exercise per week. I prioritized walking to the subway as a primary source of movement in the workdays. I found places in my work day to fit in “exercise snacks”, those small bursts of activity to exert myself and raise my heart rate. I even found places at work where I can stand and work at a computer.  I managed to accept disrupted sleep as part of my life and used some of those early morning moments for an early start at the gym. Some days I allowed myself to wake up a little later, even if it meant skipping the gym before work.  I tried to be kind to my body and take the cue that more sleep is needed.  I love food and found that although I had the best intentions of packing health snacks for work, I was not bringing enough to keep me from feeling low on energy and very hungry at the end of the day.  The silver lining I share in this episode is that, after 3 months in the job, I now have additional flexibility to work remotely some days and get an extra day off some weeks. So after three months of getting by and being gone every week day all day, I get some time back in my week to restore the balance in my self-care priorities.   Subscribe, rate, and review the Breast Cancer Life podcast.  The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Katrece's journey began in her late 30s, a time when many women may not consider themselves at risk for breast cancer. With no known family history of the disease, she was caught off guard when she noticed a physical change in her body—one breast appeared larger than the other. This seemingly benign observation led her to seek medical attention, a decision that would prove to be pivotal in her healthcare journey. The initial visit to her family doctor, although met with some skepticism regarding the urgency of her symptoms, highlighted the importance of being proactive. Despite not feeling a lump during a self-exam, Katrece's instincts pushed her to pursue further evaluation, demonstrating that awareness and self-advocacy are crucial components of health management.You can listen to Katrece's full story with IBC in episode 242.

We've all heard successful creators complain that younger hopefuls "just don't want to do the hard work." They disregard the complicated nature of achieving their status and dismiss aspiring novices on the basis of one single factor. Survivorship bias is undoubtedly a result of flawed reasoning. ...But is it bad advice?Brad and Dave discuss survivorship bias in the creative community and its impact on success. They acknowledge that survivorship bias exists but argue that it is not the sole determinant of success. They emphasize the importance of hard work, honing skills, and making adjustments based on feedback. They also discuss external factors that can impact a creative career, such as personal circumstances and societal biases. The hosts share their own experiences and offer advice for aspiring creators. In this part of the conversation, the hosts discuss the importance of perseverance and being consistent in order to achieve success in comics.Also, they also address the question of working below one's artistic skill level and offer advice on finding a style that balances speed and quality. The hosts then share their thoughts on the transition from traditional to digital art, including the benefits and drawbacks of each.
