Best Podcasts for Navigating Cancer with Hope
When I was going through treatment, I was desperately searching for encouragement, testimonies of success stories, and tangible evidence of hope. Here are a few podcasts that I found helpful:
Discusses faith, mental health, integrative and holistic resources for cancer. Lots of encouraging success stories even for stage 4 patients. Podcast created by Stage IV colon cancer survivor (diagnosed at age 37 while homeschooling 4 kids)
If you don’t have money for counseling right now, listen to this instead. My favorite episodes are #18 Why Your Story Makes it Hard to Hope and #16 Why Lament (Surprisingly) Leads to Life and Freedom. Podcast done by Christian licensed therapist. If you are digging into the emotional and spiritual aspects of cancer recovery there are some thought-provoking topics and stories.
Think holistic, faith-filled approach to healing. Podcast created by Certified Integrative Health Practitioner. Favorite episode #20 What Cortisol Can’t Calm, Christ Can
The Flourish After Cancer Podcast
Created by oncologist focused naturopath who focuses on how to thrive past cancer using research backed information.
Lots of science backed tips from Dr. Amy a cancer survivor and oncologist focused researcher. Episode 145: Stage IV Cancer Thrivers (Good one I enjoyed, especially if you are Stage IV)
This episode is with Dr. Dawn Mussallem a Mayo clinic physician and stage IV cancer survivor with a crazy story of a cancer diagnosis during med school at the age of 26. I found it very encouraging and inspiring.
