6 Main Podcast Points:
- Cancer 411
- Cancer is cells gone awry. There has been a recent increase in cancer diagnoses – partly due to the fact that people live longer.
- Cause of cancer is unknown
- Most of the time, cancer “fads” are going to be nothing more than just myths.
- Patient Support
- How can loved ones best support their sick family and friends?
- Cancer Truth: Diane’s podcast
- Starting a podcast that is designed to answer patients’ questions using objective data.
- Pediatric Cancer 411
- Why is pediatric cancer so underfunded compared to other diseases?
- How can we increase funding?
- The Scarlett Fund
- Faith and Practice
- Different patients have different ways to deal with diagnoses and illness.
- We don’t understand a lot about cancer, but I (Diane) do pray to God for strength and understanding.
