Ep 10 When the Medical Oncologist Becomes a Cancer Patient

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Welcome to the Recovery Room Podcast! In this episode we meet retired medical oncologist doctor Leona Downey. Dr. Downey dedicated her career and medical practice to the care of people with breast cancer… and then unfortunately she herself was diagnosed with breast cancer. Please join us in this insightful conversation where we talk about how her being a cancer physician made her experience easier and how it made it harder. I ask her about the shock factor, and if she thought she was somehow immune from getting cancer. I ask also what did your friend think? How did you relate to your physicians? And now that you know what it’s like to be a patient, what would you do differently? And if you had the opportunity to Letter to cancer… what would you first few sentences be? Welcome his is an insightful conversation!
