Facing Cancer Together

  • E13: You Are Not Alone

    6 MAR 2024 · Throughout this podcast, you’ve heard people share their very personal stories and experiences around cancer. So many of them were nervous about being “interviewed”. When I asked them why they were doing it - they all said the same thing. They wanted to share their story to help someone else going through treatment, to know they are not alone. As we wrap up this podcast series, we want to thank our guests for being so open, vulnerable, and candid in sharing their experiences. It has been an honour to be part of these conversations. I hope you were able to take away something - whether it be practical information, or a moment you connected with personally. Please remember to share the Facing Cancer Together podcast with friends and family who may find it helpful. On behalf of Look Good Feel Better, thank you for listening. Please share this podcast with anyone in your life facing a cancer diagnosis - or caring for someone who is.

  • E11: How To Feel Like Yourself

    7 FEB 2024 · The appearance-related impacts of cancer treatment can take a very serious toll on someone’s overall well-being. It’s not vanity.

Dr. Margaret Fitch, and some of our other special guests, discuss why feeling like yourself does, in fact, make you feel better. Then, Andrea Galley talks about "Boobie Parties", and body image post-surgery.
