Our first episode of Conversations about Cancer. 

My name is Rick. I am a survivor of seminoma, a type of testicular cancer. I had a rare presentation of testicular cancer where there was no source tumor in either testes. This happens in less than 1% of testes cancer patients. Because this presentation was rare, I needed to do some work to get the right care. This journey helped me understand how difficult it is sometimes to navigate cancer treatments. I have been a survivor for over 20 years and have helped many people deal with the difficulties of a disease like cancer.  

I have partnered with Shea. Shea is a survivor of mucinous ovarian cancer. Shea's cancer is also a rare cancer. She needed to see 7 doctors before deciding upon the right path.

In this episode we discuss what we hope to accomplish with this podcast. It will be an intimate conversation that explores the real challenges a cancer patient might face. If you or someone you know is facing this disease, we hope this podcast can provide some help.

We do not give medical advice. Instead, we cover our experiences in dealing with this disease and reveal the hard learned lessons from our experience.
