What are the broader implications of living with cancer in today's society?
Diagnosed with a rare blood cancer known as myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), Ruth Fein Revell has navigated the complexities of her illness while raising her children and pursuing a career as a freelance writer. All while living over 30 years with chronic cancer and society's stigma/lack of understanding of all that goes with that journey.
Ruth has made a conscious choice not to become her diagnosis, even though it is with her daily. She passionately discusses the need for a shift in how society perceives cancer. 'A prognosis is very often just a number. No one knows how long you're going to live,' she asserts, challenging the conventional views surrounding cancer prognosis.
Perhaps the hardest part of any chronic disease is the sense of isolation. While friends and family may rally around during the initial diagnosis, long term support often fades away.
Ruth offers a different look at managing chronic illness.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
