“It’s honest, vulnerable, and unexpected.” -Portland Monthly
Climb in, honey, we’ve got room! Join Amy and Stef as we laugh—or shake our fists—at the stuff only cancer people truly get. The gals put words to living the cancer experience, all while taking care to be gentle with listeners’ tender hearts. Then, it’s relatable letters from fellow cancer people, followed by cool RATS (Recent Advances in Treatments and Science) showcasing promising research that’ll leave you feeling pumped.

On Becoming Lava Lamps
Cancer for Breakfast

Alternative Death: it’s not just an underground music genre! We’re talking death rites, honeys, so cover your mirrors! Whether you’ve prepaid for a satin lined coffin or you’re a green-curious pre-deceased, we’ve got hot tips on the right heat for human composting. Stef also has the score on death doulas, aquamation (not just for cadavers anymore!), and a dinner date to detail your death wishes. Pass the salt! Amy’s ready to bring her “living graveyard” idea to market—maybe even in her own yard (is that legal? We’ll let you know). In any case, there’s no escaping the inevitable, so why not learn about options before you’re one foot in the grave? There’s no sugar coating this one, so if you’re feeling death-shy, skip it, with our love. However, we promise this conversation is 0% sad and 100% interesting.
Here are some of the things mentioned in the episode:
Recompose (human composting)
Green Burial Council
Death Over Dinner
The Guardian on aquamation (and Desmond Tutu)
Cancer for Breakfast is hosted by Amy Dials and Stefanie LeJeunesse, and is produced by Nathan McGehee.
Our theme music is by Vyvyvyr. RATS theme song is by Jessica Boudreaux of Summer Cannibals.

Red rover, red rover, send Stef’s therapist on over... to the cancer-adjacent club no one wants to be in. When our care providers’ loved ones get cancer, do they also get the keys to our kingdom...or is it an excuse to bail? Then: we’ve got dream fever, dream weavers. Prodromal, premonitions, or plain old nightmares—is this how our unaddressed ailments have tried to reveal themselves? And would you believe we have a Sister Act, too? We’re Back in the Habit—of analyzing the complications of cancer-related family drama. Come for the sisterly love and her angel’s advocate; stay for the on-air surprise during RATS. Whoopi! Speaking of angels: do Fido and Lassie hold the secret to oncology diagnostics? Only the dog’s nose knows. Ruff, ruff!
(Thank you, Liz!!)

Sometimes it’s cancer, sometimes it’s a bad burrito, y’all! Stef lives to tell the tale of her ascites scare. Turns out having a body is stressful...and expensive! The gals talk medical debt and financial toxicity. When insurance still makes you pay thousands for necessary care, how do you stay afloat? Speaking of grifts...we mean GRAFTS...Amy took a trip to her fat grafting surgery and all she got was this lousy dysmorphia. Do her boobs look great now, or is she their Only Fan? Then, to really bring down the mood, we take a moment to remember some friends who passed this summer. It never gets easier. In letters, a creative listener rolls radiation into her honeymoon and dishes on an accident prone frenemy, and another deals with a tactless long-lost friend who probably should’ve stayed lost. We’ve rounded up our RATS to talk about glyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Is this common weed killer also a PEOPLE killer? Well...just listen. But yes.

It’s a-me, Mario... wait no. It’s just us, Stef and Amy. While recovering from surgery—Stef’s on a side quest! Her new video game pastime is helping her heal in more ways than one. Another character (Amy) shares listener letters that cover everything from a Molly Shannon cancer flick review to more of that relatable scanxiety. Then, a diagnosing doc’s perplexing recommendation to a listener’s Italian mama has us hauling out our soapboxes once again. Mamma Mia, indeed! RATS sets aside the deep dive today and instead offers a shallow swim... it’s a lighter sprinkling of news and headlines, including a treatment that makes sure cancer kids go into adulthood with full hearts.
Our pal Rudy’s podcast is here; check it out! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/random-redux-review/id1480112332
Here’s a list of games about grief from a really cool mental health-focused site (it doesn’t list Cozy Grove, however, the game Stef’s been playing): https://safeinourworld.org/news/15-games-about-death-and-grief/ and and article from the Guardian about this: https://www.theguardian.com/games/2023/apr/19/how-video-games-help-people-through-grief
From RATS:
Here’s an article about Merck’s plan to have a vaccine by 2030: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/04/10/moderna-hopes-to-offer-new-vaccines-for-cancer-heart-disease-by-2030.html
Here’s the NCI blog’s piece about protecting heart health in cancer kids: https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2023/childhood-cancer-dexrazoxane-protects-heart-doxorubicin
Here’s the CNN article about the melanoma vaccine (featuring a surprise appearance by Hugh Jackman!): https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/04/17/health/experimental-skin-cancer-vaccine/index.html
And here’s a press release from our old friends Systems Oncology about SERA2. Fingers crossed! https://systemsoncology.com/news/systems-oncology-to-present-positive-preclinical-data-for-sera2-at-j-p-morgan-41st-annual-healthcare-conference/

Cancer for Breakfast Second Opinion: Flora
Cancer for Breakfast
03/11/24 • 52 min
It’s time for another Second Opinion! This one features friend of the podcast Flora, a metastatic PNET patient with an unexpected new living situation. First, hear the real deal about PNETs (Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor). She’ll tell us just how this wacky cancer functions, where you’ve heard of it, and why it’s an insidious foe. Then, put the mirrors on the ceiling and pop some pink champagne on ice! Flora generously tells us how surprising it is when hospice is (literally AND figuratively) just what the doctor ordered. What is happening to Flora is sad, for sure, but this is not a sad episode; it’s a closer look at the human condition, spirituality as medicine, and a chapter of life we will—ready or not—all face. With her humor and wisdom, she’s a sage for the ages. May we introduce you to a chaos goblin better known as Flora (and sometimes Fler)?
Here is the Vermont organization Flora mentioned, which helps cancer people access cannabis: https://www.highly-rooted.com/vccn
