Addressing Nonmedical Needs for Survivors of Cancer




Outspoken Oncology show

Summary: Chadi sits down with a survivor of ovarian and breast cancer as well as her physician — a key advocate for a survivorship program at Advocate Healthcare System. The trio discuss the fault in the term “survivor” and why many patients reject this label, training that physicians need to better counsel patients on survivorship and everyday life, and the level of psychological and financial support that these patients need at every intersection of their journey.
