    E13: You Are Not Alone
    2024/03/06
    Throughout this podcast, you’ve heard people share their very personal stories and experiences around cancer. So many of them were nervous about being “interviewed”. When I asked them why they were doing it - they all said the same thing. They wanted to share their story to help someone else going through treatment, to know they are not alone.


    As we wrap up this podcast series, we want to thank our guests for being so open, vulnerable, and candid in sharing their experiences. It has been an honour to be part of these conversations. I hope you were able to take away something - whether it be practical information, or a moment you connected with personally. Please remember to share the Facing Cancer Together podcast with friends and family who may find it helpful. On behalf of Look Good Feel Better, thank you for listening.

    E12: Back To Work/Back To “Normal” ...Now What?
    2024/02/21
    When treatment is done, people around you - including co-workers and bosses - may feel you are now “back to normal”. But side effects can last much longer after treatment ends. Dr. Christine Maheu and Maureen Parkinson, Co-Directors of Cancer and Work, will join us to share best practices.

  • E11: How To Feel Like Yourself

    E11: How To Feel Like Yourself
    2024/02/07
    The appearance-related impacts of cancer treatment can take a very serious toll on someone’s overall well-being. It’s not vanity. It’s about looking into a mirror, and not seeing the “Cancer Patient” - but instead seeing yourself. Dr. Margaret Fitch, and some of our other special guests, discuss why feeling like yourself does, in fact, make you feel better. Then, Andrea Galley talks about "Boobie Parties", and body image post-surgery.
