In this powerful episode, we’re joined by Dr. Tiffany Troso-Sandoval — a leading medical oncologist with over 25 years of experience — for an honest and deeply empowering conversation about cancer, survivorship, and putting yourself first.

Dr. Troso-Sandoval shares her journey in oncology and her passion for helping women navigate not only treatment, but life after cancer. From the importance of second opinions to the psychological toll of survivorship, she offers both professional insight and heartfelt advice.

Her top tip for doing survivorship? Well (Hint: it’s in the episode title!)

This is a must-listen for anyone affected by cancer — whether you’re a patient, a survivor, or supporting someone through it. It’s about reclaiming your voice, prioritising your well-being, and embracing the idea that you come first.
