So Much More Than Cancer

Denise Desimonewww.buzzsprout.com

So Much More Than Cancer is a podcast for everyone, not just the cancer community. On this fabulous and informative podcast we are here to do two things: let people who have been diagnosed with cancer that they are SO MUCH MORE than their diagnosis and secondly, we are here to talk about SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST CANCER. Cancer doesn't have to define you it can redesign you. As well as any other challenge you may encounter. Learn to use challenges as doorways of transformation. Situations don't define us, they redesign us. I am a cancer "Thriver" of stage IV throat and neck cancer. Diagnosed in 2005 and given three months to live. I am still here and I am better than ever and ready to share, inspire and motivate.Thanks for joining us. Enjoy! Stay well!
