Cancer takes so much, but it shouldn’t take your sense of self or your right to intimacy. In our latest episode, "Sex After Cancer: Desire, Communication, and Self-Love," host Annamaria Scaccia is joined by the incredible Ebonie Michelle, MPH, Founder of Prowl The LAB. They dive into the vulnerability of navigating new physical sensations, the power of self-love, and why choosing yourself is the first step toward reclaiming your sexual wellness. This isn't just about a diagnosis; it’s about finding the strength to be your most authentic self in your relationships.

In this episode of Kidney Cancer Unfiltered, we spotlight the often-overlooked experiences of Native American communities in the context of kidney cancer. Experts Dr. Monica Yellowhair of the Arizona Cancer Center and Dr. Ken Batai of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center share research findings on health disparities, barriers to care, and the need for culturally respectful treatment in tribal communities.

Nancy Washburn, also of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, brings a vital voice to the conversation — offering a front-line view of what it means to navigate patients through a system full of red tape and limited access. With host Annamaria Scaccia, the conversation emphasizes the crucial role of patient navigators and community health workers in bridging healthcare gaps and ensuring Native patients don’t fall through the cracks and calls on providers, researchers, and systems to do better — for ALL patients.
