What to Do When a Loved One Gets Diagnosed With Cancer | Rusty Roberts

When his mother was diagnosed with Stage IV Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and given just 12 weeks to live, Rusty Roberts refused to accept that as the only answer. She lived another 12 years. That journey transformed him into a cancer patient advocate who now helps families navigate complex treatment decisions with clarity, confidence, and hope.He shares a practical framework for what to do first when someone you love hears the words "you have cancer"—how to evaluate treatment options beyond conventional oncology, choose the right integrative clinic, ask the right questions, and make informed decisions that align with both evidence and personal values. This conversation delivers a roadmap for advocating for yourself or a loved one without losing sight of compassion or hope.
