Cancer is becoming more prevalent by the second, and yet, many of us feel dismissed, and like an annoyance, if we ask a single question at a doctor’s office. This week’s guest, Elizabeth Benedict, award winning NYT best-selling author, and cancer survivor, will address these topics and more.
In this episode, we talk about her latest book, “Rewriting Illness, A View Of My Own”, which gives the reader a front row seat to Elizabeth’s journey as a woman with a lifetime of fear about getting sick who finds a lump where no lump should be. This insightful memoir details months of medical mishaps, coded language, and Doctors Who Don’t Get It.
LISTEN TO THIS SHOW IF:
- You have friends or loved ones with cancer, and would like some insight into how you may be able to support them
- You have ever felt gaslighted or completely dismissed by a doctor
- You want to know if there is such a thing as a “cancer personality”
