Episode 77: Elizabeth Benedict


Mental Health Advocate, Cancer Survivor and Author Elizabeth Benedicat is ready to Tell Us The Truth about her new book Rewriting Illness: A View of My Own. Listen as Elizabeth opens up about

• Her personal experiences being a Cancer Survivor,
• Warlike metaphors used to describe cCancer,
• How Doctors fears influence their comments on patients
• Whether or not the fear of waiting to find out you have Cancer or being officially diagnosed with Cancer is worse
• How do you keep going when Doctors tell you that you're wrong
• Getting second opinions
• Much more

The episode gets even more personal when host E. Duke Bennett reflects on the life and passing from Cancer of dear friend Anne Giordano. This is as emotional an episode as we've featured and may be triggering to some. With that said, hopefully it is comforting to all!
