About this listen

 Facing cancer doesn’t mean you are now only “the cancer patient”. So often, we hear those with cancer share the need to feel seen, to feel understood and not feel alone. So whether you are facing cancer, family, friends, or part of a health care team - the Facing Cancer Together podcast is for you.

Please share the Facing Cancer Together podcast with anyone in your life facing a cancer diagnosis - or caring for someone who is. And if you’re interested in learning more about Look Good Feel Better and our workshops, visit us at lgfb.ca

    E13: You Are Not Alone
    Mar 6 2024
    Throughout this podcast, you’ve heard people share their very personal stories and experiences around cancer. So many of them were nervous about being “interviewed”. When I asked them why they were doing it - they all said the same thing. They wanted to share their story to help someone else going through treatment, to know they are not alone.


    As we wrap up this podcast series, we want to thank our guests for being so open, vulnerable, and candid in sharing their experiences. It has been an honour to be part of these conversations. I hope you were able to take away something - whether it be practical information, or a moment you connected with personally. Please remember to share the Facing Cancer Together podcast with friends and family who may find it helpful. On behalf of Look Good Feel Better, thank you for listening.

    E12: Back To Work/Back To “Normal” ...Now What?
    Feb 21 2024
    When treatment is done, people around you - including co-workers and bosses - may feel you are now “back to normal”. But side effects can last much longer after treatment ends. Dr. Christine Maheu and Maureen Parkinson, Co-Directors of Cancer and Work, will join us to share best practices.

  • E11: How To Feel Like Yourself

    E11: How To Feel Like Yourself
    Feb 7 2024
    The appearance-related impacts of cancer treatment can take a very serious toll on someone’s overall well-being. It’s not vanity. It’s about looking into a mirror, and not seeing the “Cancer Patient” - but instead seeing yourself. Dr. Margaret Fitch, and some of our other special guests, discuss why feeling like yourself does, in fact, make you feel better. Then, Andrea Galley talks about "Boobie Parties", and body image post-surgery.
