  • Caregivers Should Listen

    This podcast is fabulous. Unfortunately my BF has been diagnosed and there was no question I would be there for her every step of the way. I HIGHLY recommend caregivers listen to the podcast. It will help you understand and be even more empathetic with the diagnosis.

    I myself am a nurse but have no experience with Oncology. This podcast has really helped me understand and point me in the right direction for further answers.

    - I would love more bite size episodes.

    Thank you so much for this p... more
