  • Needs fact checking and scientific data

    Women’s health and how it’s so overlooked and under studied is a topic I am very passionate about. So I was very excited for this podcast, but ended up disappointed by the serious lack of fact checking. I listened to three episodes and, in all three, incorrect/incomplete information was shared. Examples vary from something as simple as saying 3 liters of water is equivalent to 16 cups (it’s 12) to sharing incorrect information about sumatriptan. I know the guests are not in the scientific field ... more

  • SO appreciated!

    As a woman.. this is everything. I especially relate to the cervical screening episode, and it helps tremendously knowing there’s a community of women navigating the same path.

  • Essential, well-narrated, engaging podcast

    I loved this podcast, and listened to one episode after the other. Golda Arthur tells a very personal story with empathy and enough curiosity and intelligence to make it universal. In the process, she relays essential information to shed light on a cancer that often goes undetected. Highly recommended.

  • Well Said

    It took my awhile to listen because of the haunting memories of my mother with this illness and having vague symptoms and the diagnosis was stage 4. It’s been 31 years since she passed and it’s good to know that there is more research and that there are woman that have survived. Thanks to you and your mom sharing your story.

  • BRCA2 Daughter

    I listened to every available episode of this podcast in one sitting. I’m educated on ovarian cancer. My mother battled it for six years and eventually passed when I was in my early 20s. Before she died, she discovered the BRCA2 mutation that I’ve also found I carry.

    But even so, I learned so much about the disease and treatment while listening. The science and the story are presented so clearly.

    I also felt connected to the lives of the host and her mother. At the time, I was young and took t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cancer survivorship and its shadow, with Dr Mercedes Castiel
Q: What inspired you to start Cancer Care Concierge and how has it influenced survivorship care?
The motivation came from recognizing gaps in navigation and support for patients and caregivers; by building a multidisciplinary team that covers medical, psychosocial, and logistical needs, Cancer Care Concierge aims to streamline care, reduce burden, and improve the overall survivorship experience.
Cancer survivorship and its shadow, with Dr Mercedes Castiel
Q: How do you define survivorship and quality of life from your clinical perspective?
Survivorship is deeply personal and begins with a diagnosis, evolving with treatments and individual circumstances; quality of life is the outcome each patient wants, shaped by age, relationships, work, and dreams, and should be anticipated and integrated into care from the outset.
Why Black women are twice as likely to die of this cancer, with Dr Kemi Doll
Q: What changes could improve outcomes?
Normalize discussions about endometrial cancer in routine visits, ensure early and accurate diagnosis, revise guidelines to account for racial differences, and expand enrollment of Black women in trials to develop more effective treatments.
Why Black women are twice as likely to die of this cancer, with Dr Kemi Doll
Q: Why are Black women dying at higher rates from endometrial cancer?
Multiple factors converge: more aggressive cancer subtypes, delays in diagnosis, limited access to specialized care, underrepresentation in research and trials, and biased diagnostic guidelines that don't fit high-risk populations.
Why Black women are twice as likely to die of this cancer, with Dr Kemi Doll
Q: Tell me, what is endometrial cancer?
Endometrial cancer is a cancer of the inner lining of the uterus, with symptoms like post-menopausal bleeding and potential pelvic symptoms, and it is increasingly common with notable disparities in outcomes by race.
