ASCO’s Conquer Cancer Foundation has developed the podcast series, Your Stories: Conquering Cancer. These recordings showcase candid conversations between patients and their loved ones, family members who have lost a loved one to cancer, and the stories behind the science of researching the disease.
The many professionals who work to bring the best care to people with cancer have their own stories driving them. These featured podcasts focus on what inspires them to strive for a better world.
Curing a cancer is the goal and dream of every researcher. One doctor who has done it shares his “walk on the moon” with a colleague.
Like patients and their families, oncologists personally know the loss that cancer brings. A young researcher reveals to her mentor how her mother’s last words motivate her life’s work.
An oncology nurse recalls a time when a cancer diagnosis was so scary that it was whispered. Then, having faced her own cancer diagnosis, she tells her friend and colleague why she found her voice on behalf of all survivors.
Your Stories is a prerecorded audio podcast series. It can be listened to online or downloaded to your computer. More information about each podcast is available at the Conquer Cancer website.
These podcasts were recorded in collaboration with StoryCorps, a national non-profit dedicated to preserving and sharing humanity’s stories.
