Elizabeth (Liz) Benditt, 4x survivor/thriver, Melanoma (2009), Thyroid (2010), Basel Cell (2015), Breast (2017) Liz is currently President and CEO of The Balm Box, a self-care and gifting site for breast cancer patients. In addition to teaching undergraduate business marketing courses at the University of Kansas, Benditt also serves on the Education First Shawnee Mission board of directors and volunteers with National Charity League. She lives in the Kansas City suburbs with her husband and two children. ✨A few highlights from the show: 1. When you are diagnosed with cancer and making decisions about treatment, ask a lot of questions, take time to understand your treatment plan, and think about what is right for you and the quality of life that you want. 2. When making decisions about breast cancer treatment, ask what are the odds of recurrence with and without estrogen therapy. 3. People undergoing cancer treatment prefer functional items as gifts instead of inspirational items.   https://thebalmbox.com/blogs/news/survey-results-top-three?_pos=12&_sid=ff4e80f2d&_ss=r 🎁🎗️Follow and connect with Liz: https://thebalmbox.com/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheBalmBox IG: https://www.instagram.com/BalmBoxIG/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoxBalm LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizbenditt 🦄About Me: In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, out of the blue. I did not have any prior health concerns or issues. Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and lead me to where I am today. As a Cancer Doula, I use my 11 years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as a personal patient advocate.
