🎙️ Primetime Edition Opening – A Mother’s Love (Rewind)
“Hello everyone, and welcome to a very special primetime edition of the CROC Podcast — Citizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer.
As we get closer to Mother’s Day, we wanted to take a moment to reflect, honor, and celebrate something incredibly powerful… a mother’s love.
So today, we’re bringing you a special rewind episode —
Season 1, Episode 10: A Mother’s Love.
In this episode, we begin a new and meaningful module centered around the strength, sacrifice, and unwavering support that mothers provide… especially in the face of cancer.
We are also honored to feature a very special guest, Michael John Benzaia, from the Hudson Valley, New York — an actor with roots from Sicily, Spain, and Jordan, who has appeared alongside some of the industry’s biggest names.
This is a story about love, resilience, and the kind of strength that only a mother can give.
Let’s take a step back… and experience A Mother’s Love.”

“Hello everyone, and welcome to the CROC Podcast — Citizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer.
Today, we’re taking a much-needed day off. Dr. E needs one… and as you can probably hear in my voice, I’m a little under the weather myself.
So instead of going silent, we wanted to do something special for you.
We’re bringing you a bonus double episode week.
Today, we’re airing a rewind — our Special Labor Day episode, honoring all of our incredible Survivor/Thrivers who continue to work through the mental and physical challenges of cancer treatment.
And that’s not all… we’ve got a brand-new bonus episode dropping this Wednesday — and trust me, you don’t want to miss it.
Let’s get into today’s episode.”

In this powerful and unfiltered episode of the CROC Podcast, Dr. E tackles one of the most difficult and rarely discussed realities in healthcare — what happens when a doctor doesn’t show up for their patient.
Through a real-life case, we meet Robert, a patient facing advanced cancer whose care became fragmented at a critical moment. As uncertainty grows and leadership disappears, Dr. E is forced into an uncomfortable position: step beyond his role or allow the system to fail.
This episode dives deep into the ethical, emotional, and professional challenges of confronting a colleague who is not doing the right thing — and what it truly means to advocate for a patient when it matters most.
From navigating broken systems to redefining responsibility, this conversation is a wake-up call for medical professionals and a powerful reminder for patients and families: your care depends on more than knowledge — it depends on presence.
Because at the end of the day, patients aren’t asking who’s in charge…
they’re asking one simple question:
“Is someone here for me?”

When The Visits End Life After Cancer Care: Featuring Talaya DendyÂ
What happens when the visits finally end?
In this powerful and deeply emotional episode of The CROC Podcast: Citizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer, we explore a milestone that every cancer survivor hopes to reach—but few are truly prepared for: graduation from oncology care.
Featuring cancer thriver, advocate, and cancer doula Talaya Dendy, this conversation goes beyond celebration. Together, we unpack the complex emotions that come with transitioning from patient to survivor—the joy, the uncertainty, the fear of recurrence, and the quiet strength it takes to move forward without the regular reassurance of an oncology team.
Dr. Eanelli shares the physician’s perspective on this unique and deeply personal relationship, while Talaya opens up about her 14-year journey, the decision to step away from her oncologist, and the tools—like a survivorship care plan—that helped her confidently step into this next chapter.
This episode is a reminder that survivorship is not just about finishing treatment—it’s about rediscovering life, identity, and purpose beyond cancer.
Whether you are a survivor, caregiver, or someone walking alongside a loved one, this conversation will leave you encouraged, informed, and inspired.
Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t surviving cancer…
It’s learning how to live after it.
