Leah's Story Part 1 #cancerinsider

The Cancer Pod: Integrative Medicine Talk

Leah has the dubious distinction of being our #cancerinsider. In this episode, she shares her history of diagnosis and treatment while seeing patients at an integrative cancer center. Join us in this unscripted chat!
Today, Leah is once again practicing in an integrative cancer center, and during the recording of this episode, she happens to be awaiting the results of a recent MRI. As every person who has gone through cancer treatments knows, past and present are forever intertwined. This is a jam-packed episode where we touch on scanxiety, the difference between lumpectomy & mastectomy, whether cancer is truly “preventable,” and so much more.
