Living With Scanxiety: Cancer Podcast

Season 6 Episode 2 When Scott, a childhood cancer survivor turned advocate, and Rosalie, the director of government relations and advocacy from St. Baldrick's Foundation, joined me, Rosaria Kozar, the conversation was nothing short of inspiring. Our dialogue cut through the complexities of advocacy, unraveling how crucial policies like the STAR Act shape the landscape of pediatric cancer care. We shared the often unseen struggles that follow the victory of 'beating' cancer — the continuous health battles, risks of secondary cancers, and the psychological toll on families.
