Join us for this special edition instalment of Candidly With Carolyn where we welcome Carmen Monge - Author, Researcher & Globe Trotting Cancer Patient Advocate on to the pod to hangout. They meet in the lobby of their hotel in Chicago and catch their breath after hurriedly getting ready from one conference event to another.
Pour yourself a cup of your favourite coffee, hit that play button and hang out with Carolyn and Carmen as they walk-and-talk about accessibility in cancer care, biases and blindspots in research design, delivery and communication, ethnicity, reclaiming and authoring our identities and patient-informed language around cancer.
