This is a wonderful historic overview of how cancer survivorship and the patient movement came into being. Having devoured THE EMPEROR OF ALL MALADIes, I am DELIGHTED to see Matthew tackle this important topic: the history of cancer survivorship.

For anyone who has taken the journey with a loved one or lived through cancer herself, this project is the resource, the accompaniment you hoped to find along the way. How we talk about cancer matters. Knowing the stories of those who came before and exploring how their courageous discourse changed the narrative over time empowers those starting on that road today. A profound thanks to all responsible for this amazing project. It takes a village!

I am blown away by how much I love this podcast. You might think that a podcast about cancer would be full of medical jargon and depressing outcomes; this is actually a riveting look at patient advocacy and the PEOPLE that made a difference in how cancer is viewed today. I am totally hooked. The host, Matthew Zachary, weaves his own story into the narrative, along with his beautiful score, performed by Matthew. Anyone remotely touched by cancer with benefit from this work of art.
