Welcome back to The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, where we’re about to dive into one of the most emotional and eye-opening conversations you’ll ever hear. In today’s episode, hosts Sylvie and Victor are joined by none other than Andrea Wilson Woods—the president and founder of Blue Faery, an organization dedicated to tackling liver cancer with passion, purpose, and unwavering support.
But here’s the twist: Andrea’s story isn’t just about fighting a disease. It’s about resilience, love, and the power of turning grief into action. At just 22, Andrea became the guardian of her sister, Adrienne, after a devastating cancer diagnosis. And in honor of her sister’s memory, Andrea founded the Blue Faery, a nonprofit that’s changing the way families cope with cancer.
In this heartfelt episode, Andrea opens up about her personal journey, sharing the tough decisions, emotional hurdles, and vital lessons she’s learned along the way. But it doesn’t stop there. She’ll reveal the practical, actionable steps families can take to support their loved ones, both emotionally and medically, and how critical psychosocial support is in the cancer journey.
Plus, you’ll hear all about the Blue Faery’s educational programs, cutting-edge research, and its mission to tackle liver cancer head-on.
