Resilience and Reflection: Barbara & Jamie Reconnect

In this heartfelt episode of the Young Tongues Podcast, co-hosts Barbara and Jamie reunite to reflect on both personal and professional milestones. Jamie marks five years since her cancer diagnosis, while Barbara candidly shares her ongoing journey with chronic fatigue syndrome and mental health challenges. The conversation also celebrates key achievements, including Barbara’s recent appearances at major medical conferences and the launch of Unmuted, Young Tongues’ inaugural Annual Impact event. Together, they spotlight persistent issues facing tongue cancer patients - particularly the need for better biopsy pain management - and outline upcoming efforts to gather patient data to drive systemic change. The episode closes with a health update on former guest and friend, Molly, as she navigates increasingly limited treatment options. Barbara and Jamie also announce a short summer break and extend an invitation to potential sponsors looking to support the podcast’s mission. Hosted on Acast.
