Are You Cancer Free Now?
I’ve felt the pull to create this series I’ve decided to call “Did We Learn Anything?” As a consultant and presenter, my favorite part of facilitating a session is the Q&A. Folks get to share what they are thinking about, and wrestling with. It’s less about what I think they should know and more about what they really want to know.Thanks for listening, and please join our community! Follow us on Instagram @didwelearnanything_podcast.
