They keep it real, relatable, and full of passion: True Grit
In this heartfelt and candid episode of Everything Cancer, we sit down with Dr. Sam Siegel, a pediatrician, and Dr. Sam Siegel, an onco-generalist doing the heavy lift of starting a survivorship practice. Both doctors are not only healthcare providers but also cancer survivors who each experienced tough treatments and parents to three busy kids.
Sam and Sam candidly discuss their personal cancer journeys and the complexities of balancing family life with their professional and personal health challenges. Mortality is a topic that is not off the table in their household out of hard-earned necessity.
They discuss the importance of self-advocacy—a topic they frequently address in public speaking, emphasizing the crucial nature of asking questions and not being afraid to seek second opinions.
Dr. Sam Siegel talks about her pioneering onco-generalist survivorship program at Kaiser, which aims to integrate supportive care from the time of diagnosis, focusing on the quality of life, especially for those living with metastatic cancer. They both stress the need for comprehensive, multidisciplinary approaches that go beyond merely extending life to truly enhancing it.
We discuss the importance of being vital at all stages of one’s journey.Their beloved dog, Darla, occasionally weighs in on the conversation.
Tune in to hear how the Siegels navigate the ups and downs of cancer, parenting, and building a better future for survivors. Their story is a powerful testament to resilience and the relentless pursuit of living fully, no matter the circumstances.

Welcome to Everything Cancer! In today's episode, we sit down with Dr. Jonathan Raviotta, PhD in Public Health and Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Jonathan shares his remarkable four-year journey through cancer and personal transformation. His story is a testament to resilience and the power of human connection.
Jonathan’s treatment journey was profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, adding layers of complexity and isolation. He underwent aggressive treatments, including chemotherapy and two major abdominal surgeries.
Jonathan opens up about his struggles surrounding his ingrained self-reliance, a hard habit to break that furthered his sense of isolation.
He sank into the depths of despair.
The pain of his enormous personal challenges straining his marriage is almost tangible in this interview.
He takes us on his transformative journey from lonely darkness to living in the moment.
He shares how therapy, support groups, his online Caring Bridge community, music, participating in church services, and realizing his valuable purpose in his job in critical public health research helped him to embrace life and enjoy each moment.
It’s impossible not to cheer him on as he recounts how his marriage is now stronger than ever.
Dr. Raviotta discusses how shared decision-making with his oncologist for a less frequent treatment schedule allowed for an informed quality-of-life decision that has proven pivotal for him.
His experiences highlight the power of shared decision-making in healthcare, the value of supportive and comprehensive care, and the transformative impact of reaching out to community and support networks.
