Survivor Chat with Brad and Josie: Cancer Recurrence

How do you navigate the turbulent waters of cancer recurrence and its treatment? In this emotionally charged episode, we share deeply personal stories of battling persistent abnormal cells, undergoing numerous medical procedures (surgery, radiation, and stem cell transplant), and the heart-wrenching decision to opt for treatments that come at large risk of loss of fertility, loss of life, and loss of quality of life. We will discuss the unique nature of each of our cancer journeys (Brad's lymphoma and Josie's solid tumor), all through the lens of lived experiences. Prevention strategies are also discussed. Helpful links:https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/parents/vaccine-for-hpv.htmlhttps://bethematch.org/transplant-basics/how-blood-stem-cell-transplants-work/how-donors-and-patients-are-matched/https://www.cancer.org/cancer/managing-cancer/treatment-types/stem-cell-transplant/types-of-transplants.html General Links:Disclaimers: https://cancersurvivormd.org/disclaimers/Brad Buchanan: https://linktr.ee/bradthechimeraG [Josie] van Londen: https://linktr.ee/cancersurvivormdCancerBridges: https://cancerbridges.org/
