Navigating the Uncertainties of Medicine
How to Embrace the Unknown in Your Survivorship Journey
“I don’t know” is an answer you never want to hear come out of the mouth of your oncologist. Or is it?
In this first part of a three-part podcast module, Angel and Dr. E explore the reality of uncertainty in medicine, define it, and begin embracing it and making it part of our Survivor/Thriver journey.
DescriptionCitizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer (CROC) is a grass roots cancer survivorship organization established in 1999 whose sole purpose is to support survivors and their families who strive to “turn tragedy into triumph” thru support events, education, publications, activities, and grant application oversight with love, compassion, empathy and warmth in a nonjudgmental, safe and non-discriminatory environment. The CROC Podcast is a weekly program hosted by Dr. Thomas Eanelli whose sole purpose is to support cancer survivors and their families who strive to “turn tragedy into triumph.”

Have Faith Let It Begin
What Do You Do If You Don’t Like Your Patient
As Oncology health professionals we not only revere and respect our Survivor/Thrivers but we also develop an interconnectedness; and may I dare say feelings of love. But just as we may love our family members, there are times we may not like them or at least not like their behaviors.
It comes as no shock then that we must recognize and prepare for patients whose belligerence, illogic and anger may test our inner strength and risk developing a non therapeutic and potentially bilaterally harmful relationship.
This week Angel and Dr E discuss how to deal with inevitable dynamic.

I Believe In Miracles
On our last podcast of 2024, we told the story of Mary, a living, breathing testament that medical miracles do happen.
The response we received was so positive and impactful that we decided that moving forward, the CROC Podcast would forever end the old year with a story of hope and start the new year likewise.
On today’s podcast, we will tell the story of “Dee,” another brave Survivor/Thriver who was told she would be dead in 4 months. The funny thing is, she was told that 3 years ago.
