Finding Chemo Podcast

Brandy was drawn to helping people after losing family members to cancer. She tells us why it's important for patients and caregivers to know they have the right to ask questions, and that the medical community has a responsibility to answer them.

Let's take a break from talking about cancer and enjoy some vintage comedy bits from the radio show Nick and Eric produced way back in the 90's. Merry Christmas to all!

Out-of-pocket vs. deductible? Medicare Advantage? "Dual Complete" coverage? Bonnie helps us sort out the maze of insurance plans, enrollment periods and common mistakes some people make along the way, including why you should NEVER enroll over the phone!

Dr. Sharrett is Nick's radiation oncologist. He shares his advice, experiences and positive outlook for the future of cancer treatment.

Nick and producer Eric talk about the things that made them who they are and why they're thankful for them, including you, our beloved listeners!

Brett Sweet was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma at 19, and testicular cancer followed. Now a healthy father of 4 and a pastor, he tells us why there is room for both faith AND science, why you should never trust "Dr. Google", and how Pink Floyd is probably the best choice while getting a PET scan.

31 brain tumors is bad enough, but a million dollars in bills?? Let’s listen to Steve as he tells us what’s going on and how he’s dealing with it. Nick gives some advice on how to eliminate co-pays, some extra benefits you may not know about, and why Pink's music has something to say.

Long-time friend and accomplished musician Chris Reiser was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and given 4-6 weeks to live. That was ELEVEN YEARS AGO. He tells us what he learned along the way, how he connected with family (some whom he'd never even met), and shares his musical inspiration with us. Plus: Abraham Lincoln channels Rodney Dangerfield, Nick talks about why "The Mummy" was his friend while quarantined with COVID (all while getting cancer treatment, can he get a break?!) and we talk about how friends and music can help light the way through darkness. Let's have a laugh, why not?

Our friend Tim lost his wife to cancer in 2012, and has gone on to find happiness in a new chapter. He talks about (accidentally) getting high on his wife's supply, the importance of asking about the kids, and how he has gained a better understanding of the human condition.

Just a quick checkin with our Fearless Leader to chat about his birthday. Please send birthday wishes to [email protected]!
