Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Secondary Cancers But Were Afraid To Ask

This week, Angel and Dr. E take a deep dive into this complex and confusing world to bring you the latest data, clarify the risk factors, and provide guidance on what to look for, arming you with the information you need to stay ahead of the potentially devastating consequences of enduring this double whammy.

Top Ten Reasons Why Cancer Survivors Don’t Take Vacation and Top 10 Reasons Why They Should
As we ease into the warmth and light of summer, our dreams and fantasies of packing up and getting “away from it all” begin to take form and come true. We make our plans without worry or consequence.
But our sacred and worthy Survivor/Thrivers, who not only deserve but also need this break, often pass on these life-affirming and necessary vacations.
This week, Angel and Dr. E investigate the reasons why our survivors do not take time for themselves, and the reasons why they not only should, but absolutely must.

Savor Every Patient Encounter Like It’s Your Last
We often preach about “Mindfulness” and “Living in the Moment” here on the CROC Podcast, but do we follow our own advice?
I recently noticed a trend where I would be physically sitting in a room with a patient, but my mind was elsewhere.
Sometimes I would be thinking about the next patient, my next task, or perhaps something unrelated to my job. That realization did not sit well with me so this podcast is directed explicitly toward how important it is to appreciate and cherish and savor every opportunity I get to take care of someone who has gifted me the greatest gift: the gift of trusting me with their life, which deserves 100 percent of my attention and focus.

we need to identify and recognize the amount of trauma that
our coworkers and friends have to endure on behalf of our Survivor/Thrivers;

In this advocacy, we offer hope, confidence, and peace.
But how legitimate are our words when we haven’t had to experience the horror of cancer personally?
This week, Angel and Dr E welcome friend and colleague David Garcia, who had to recently take a walk in the shoes of our patients with his cancer diagnosis. Please join us as we honor our Survivor/Thriver/Providers!
