Understanding Radiation Therapy and the Power of Empathy in Patient Care with Doctor EB
Navigating Cancer TOGETHER
02/14/24 • 44 min
In this heartfelt episode of Navigating Cancer TOGETHER, Talaya Dendy had the privilege of speaking with the remarkable Dr. Sophia Edwards-Bennett, MD Ph.D., a board-certified radiation oncologist with an impressive background from institutions like Harvard's Cancer Therapeutics and Research Program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Cornell Medical College. Dr. EB. is not only a multiple award-winning radiation oncologist but also a cancer ambassador, best-selling author, dynamic international speaker, podcaster, YouTuber, and advocate for a holistic approach to cancer treatment.
We delved into the intricacies of radiation therapy, a treatment that remains a mystery to many. Dr. EB explained that it involves high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and emphasized that patients do not feel pain during the treatment. She also discussed the criteria for recommending radiation therapy, which depends on factors like the cancer stage and patient comorbidities. We learn about Dr. EB's "why" and so much more! This episode was a testament to the power of empathy, hope, and the human spirit in navigating cancer together.
✨Highlights from the show:
[00:02:34] Radiation therapy explained.
[00:05:17] Radiation therapy determining factors.
[00:14:42] Balancing clinical and emotional needs.

Remembering a Family Matriarch Who Sparked Purple Pansies with Maria Fundora
Navigating Cancer TOGETHER
03/15/23 • 32 min
Maria Fundora founded the nonprofit, Purple Pansies in 2008 following her mother’s death from pancreatic cancer. She felt called to raise awareness and crucial research dollars for this chronically underfunded but deadly cancer. To date, Purple Pansies has raised over $4 Million to fund research through TGen and aid affected families. The mission of Purple Pansies is to raise funds for research, clinical trials, and early detection, and to aid families in the community who have a family member suffering from pancreatic cancer and financially can use their help.
✨A few highlights from the show:
1. Pancreatic cancer is sometimes called a “silent” disease because symptoms are rarely noticeable in its early stages. If symptoms are present, they are often vague and can be easy to ignore.
2. A few symptoms: abdominal or mid-back pain, change in stool, digestive problems such as gas and bloating, and several others.
3. Pancreatic cancer awareness month is in November.
4. Pansies are resilient flowers. The root grows strong all winter and they grow during the worst of times in the winter. Hence, Purple Pansies.
5. Don't be afraid to get a second opinion when you or a loved one are diagnosed with cancer and trying to determine the best treatment options.
6. Maria has a couple of goals that she could use your help with.
a. Expand the Purple Pansies Board. She is looking for volunteers to be on the Board and chair committees to help Purple Pansies become a national footprint.
b. Develop an early detection test for pancreatic cancer.
🟣c. A very personal goal of Maria's is to have a major sports team wear purple during the month of November and have a major team be a part of the Board. #MNVikings #MNLynx #MNTimberwolves #MNTwins

🦄About Me:
In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, out of the blue. I did not have any prior health concerns or issues. Fast forward, the dreaded cancer diagnosis opened my eyes, introduced me to my purpose, and led me to where I am today.
As a Cancer Doula, I use my 13 years of experience with cancer to support and guide others diagnosed with cancer. Many people are not familiar with what a cancer doula is. Think of me as your personal guide and patient advocate. Schedule a 30-minute Meet and Greet call to confidentially share the challenges you are facing and learn more about how I can support you. bit.ly/OTOSCalmingEnergyMeetNGreet
