Supportive Care Matters: A Podcast by Dr. Bogda Koczwara
Welcome to the first episode of Supportive Care Matters, a podcast Hosted by Medical Oncologist, Dr. Bogda Koczwara from Adelaide, Australia.
In today's episode, Bogda speaks to Phyllis Berck, marathon runner, feminist and breast cancer survivor, about her work as a Patient Partner with the University Health Network, Toronto, Canada.
Born from her own traumatic experiences as a patient and driven by a desire to help others, Phyllis is committed to helping healthcare professionals see the 'whole of the person' and not just their cancer. Supportive Care Matters to Phyllis because she believes it prevents unnecessary trauma and promotes full healing after cancer treatments have finished.
This conversation is sponsored by Canteen and produced by The Oncology Network.
