Jeff Stewart: Author, Scientist, Jeopardy Champ, and Cancer Insider
Saison 5 · Épisode 111
mercredi 22 octobre 2025 • Durée 38:11
In 2022, Jeff Stewart was preparing to donate a kidney when his life took a completely different turn. Unknown to him at the time, he was harboring two separate cancers—kidney and stomach. As a former Jeopardy champ, long-time molecular biologist, and inventor, it’s no surprise that Jeff instinctively framed his relationship with cancer as a complex puzzle that needed solving. In this heartfelt interview with Dr. Sherman, Jeff shares the insights he has gained over the years. He also discusses his published memoir, Living: Inspiration from a Father with Cancer. Written with his seven children in mind, Living offers advice and inspiration for everyone, regardless of age. He also touches on his love of writing itself, having just completed his upcoming young adult fantasy book, Angel Chloe and the Wall of Stone and Bone. Jeff passed away in August 2025, yet his wisdom, humor, and legacy live on to inspire us, just as he intended.

In this episode, Tina and Leah dive into the connection between alcohol and cancer, exploring why the Surgeon General is pushing for updated warning labels. Whether you’re sticking with your current habits or considering a mindful approach to drinking, this episode delivers eye-opening insights that might make you think twice before your next sip.

Bone Health : Survivorship / Survivorsh!t:
Saison 1 · Épisode 15
mercredi 8 décembre 2021 • Durée 49:40
Want to learn all about bone health? Then this is the episode for you! How does bone degrade? Who should be most concerned? How can you build bone? Are there certain nutritional supplements that can help?
Fracture risk increases with age as our bones thin, but throw some cancer treatment into the mix and bone thinning can happen sooner and more rapidly (up to seven times faster following cancer treatments, according to ASCO). Loss of bone mineral density (known as osteopenia or osteoporosis) increases fracture risk. This is not only true for older cancer patients but young ones too. And bone loss may be late-onset, not showing up until decades following treatment. That means adult survivors of childhood cancers are at a higher risk.
In Episode 15 of The Cancer Pod, Tina and Leah discuss bone density, risk factors for osteopenia and osteoporosis, and how you can prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures. Tune in and share this episode with anyone you think is at risk of bone loss (it's not just for cancer survivors... aging itself is a risk factor).

Survivorship / Survivorsh!t: Fatigue
Saison 1 · Épisode 14
mercredi 1 décembre 2021 • Durée 49:30
Cancer-related fatigue (CrF) is common, both during treatment for cancer and afterward. Studies show up to 30% of cancer survivors experience fatigue for years following diagnosis. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill not getting a good night’s sleep or overdoing it at the gym fatigue. CrF is its own entity. It’s not relieved by sleep or rest and can be distressing, even life-altering. In this episode, Tina and Leah review the official contributing factors to CrF, and a few causes that aren’t found on the official list. Understanding how the adrenal glands are involved in CrF is essential, and they explain how the adrenals help you maintain energy. As always, at The Cancer Pod, we talk specifics about what you can do to improve your day-to-day. Fatigue is not something you have to live with!

Talk To Your Doctor: About Genetic Testing
Saison 1 · Épisode 13
mercredi 17 novembre 2021 • Durée 37:56
What is genetic testing and is it appropriate for you? How do you talk to your doctor about getting tested? Tina and Leah cover what you need to know in this episode of The Cancer Pod.
Hereditary cancers happen, but what are the chances? It is estimated that 10% of all cancers are due to genes we inherited from our parents. Yet, certain mutations can lead to personal risk of up to 80%. (We don't dwell on statistics, so no worries there.)
Knowing whether there is familial hereditary cancer syndrome can influence decision-making for the person with cancer and their family. In this podcast, we discuss who, why and how the testing for hereditary cancer syndromes should be approached. Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome, where the BRCA genes are involved, may be the most commonly known, but there are many others to look for including Lynch syndrome, Li Fraumeni syndrome, and Cowden syndrome.
We round out this episode with our unofficial theme song and a different kind of Moment of Woo.

Talk To Your Doctor: At Your Appointment
Saison 1 · Épisode 12
mercredi 10 novembre 2021 • Durée 44:13
Doctors' appointments can be overwhelming, especially after a cancer diagnosis. There are so many questions to ask even before walking into the office, and then once a treatment plan is presented there are even more questions.
On the latest episode of The Cancer Pod, Tina and Leah review some of the questions to bring up at an oncology appointment and offer some tips to help patients, both newly diagnosed and seasoned veterans, about what to bring to appointments. They even delve into the topic of what to do if you don't like your doctor or what happens if your doctor leaves you.

Talk to Your Doctor: About Integrative Medicine
Saison 1 · Épisode 11
mercredi 3 novembre 2021 • Durée 47:04
It's the first pod inspired by our listeners' requests! Talk to Your Doctor is a series of episodes about, well, how to talk to your doctor! Whether it's about integrative medicine or questions you might not have thought of, we'll try and cover it in this pod.
In the first episode of this series, we answer the question "how do I ask my doctor about integrative medicine?" According to the National Institute for Health, integrative oncology is a patient-centered, evidence-informed field that utilizes mind-body practices, lifestyle modifications, and/or natural products interwoven with conventional cancer treatment. It prioritizes safety and best available evidence to offer appropriate interventions alongside conventional care. That's literally their definition.
Patients are often reluctant to talk to their doctors about using therapies that might be outside of standard of care, and doctors don't always know how to advise their patients on the use of these therapies. As more patients are becoming aware of the potential benefits of these treatments, keeping an open dialog with their providers is key.
Talk to YOUR doctor if you think integrative medicine is for you.

Sleep disturbances may affect 40% of cancer survivors up to five years post treatment. In Episode 9 of Side Eff#%ks pod, Tina and Leah covered the causes of sleep disturbances and sleep hygiene, and now in Episode 10, they review integrative approaches to sleep management, including herbs and supplements that address anxiety and pain, which often contribute to insomnia.

Good quality sleep is always important, but it becomes especially precious following a cancer diagnosis. A good night's sleep supports our immune system, our mood, and so much more. It helps our body and mind heal. Anxiety, depression, and pain are only a few common causes of sleep disruption. In the first of this two-part episode, Tina and Leah talk about sleep disturbances, sleep hygiene, and some basic approaches to managing insomnia.
