Bonus Episode

Épisode 7

jeudi 15 décembre 2022 • Durée 42:24

In this special bonus episode, Jo and Colleen talk to two people who have become key to Jo's wellbeing since her diagnosis: her oncologist, Dr Chris Jackson, and Marie Wales, supportive care manager for the Cancer Society in Otago and Southland. Chris shares general treatment tips and his views on how to improve Aotearoa New Zealand’s cancer outcomes, while Marie discusses the right - and wrong - ways to talk to patients and the barriers to rural residents accessing treatment. Of course Chris wouldn't normally talk about patients in public, but agreed to appear at Jo's request. He recommended several websites where patients and their loved ones could get credible information.
