Genetic Counseling and Cancer – here’s what you should know!
In this episode 16 we talk about what you need to know about the risks and benefits of genetic counseling for cancer survivors. If you were never tested at the time of your diagnosis years ago is there value in testing you now? If you were tested years ago, should you be re-tested? And if so when? How can information you learn about yourself help your family? And what are the protections and limitations of the federal law Gina or genetic information nondiscrimination act? And if you test or positive or negative how does that impact you, your family and your cancer screening recommendations? We will answer all these questions for you and more in this episode of The Recovery Room Podcast!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Incontinence is never normal. Yet, with some types of cancers incontinence and erectile dysfunction in men can be fairly common.

We talk about the myths, common problems and the barriers to care men may face when needing help with issues related to their pelvic floor.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
If there is ever a time you need to advocate for yourself as a patient, it certainly is just after hearing the words, "You have cancer." Yet advocating for yourself may be easier said than done as chances are you may be scared, nervous, intimidated and possibly needing to make big decisions about things you know little about. So how do you best advocate for yourself in these situations? We are discussing just that in Episode 14 of The Recovery Room Podcast – “you need to drive you train, Advocating for Yourself in Health Care.” We are joined in this conversation by gynecological oncologist Dr. Elizabeth Dickson. We will define the important terms “informed consent” and “shared decision making” and then discuss tips and tools to help make you more comfortable in being a better self-advocate!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Ep 11 Being Diagnosed with an Unpopular Cancer – there is no t-shirt for me
When you add up the 4 most commonly diagnosed cancers breast, lung, prostate and colorectal, they still only make up around half of all cancer types diagnosed around the world. Leaving many people diagnosed with a less common or rare cancer. There is already enough potential baggage that comes with a cancer diagnosis, but for many it can be exponentially worse when they are diagnosed with a rare cancer or diagnosed with cancer in a body part that isn’t comfortable talking about. This can lead to silence, feelings of abandonment, shame, guilt and blank stares. And none of that is ok. In this episode of The Recovery Room Podcast we talk with a woman who has dealt with all of this after being diagnosed with a cancer, that not only is less than 1% of all cancers, it happened in a body part that can be a bit cringy to talk about.
This insightful episode 11 conversation is dedicated to the millions of people diagnosed with the rarer cancers. You may feel alone, but please know you aren’t!

Ep 8: The Female Pelvic Floor – is yours working like it should?
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
You‘ve heard the words “pelvic floor,” yet do you know what it is and do you realize you actually have one? Like most body parts, if its working well you don’t think about it, yet if your pelvic floor is affected by disease, treatment, surgery or weakness it can be a huge quality of life issue!
In this episode we are talking about the female pelvic floor. Today on the show I bring you nationally respected pelvic floor specialist Erica Vitek. We are going to describe the pelvic floor, where it is, what it does, how it can be impacted… and if it is, what you can do about it. Bladder leaking of any level is not normal, but it’s still pretty common. So if you have a pelvic floor (and you do) bottoms up, this is going to be a good one!

Ep 6: Lymphedema Risk Reduction: yes, you can get a blood pressure on that arm
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
There is no compelling evidence that blood pressures or blood draws in your involved arm increases your risk of getting lymphedema. It's true. Research has evolved over the years, changing the way we understand lymphedema risk and practice. Yet sometimes it takes a while for the accuracy to filter through the health care and survivors realms. This is certainly true for cancer related lymphedema precautions. Data now tell us that sitting on the couch will not protect you, taking it easy will not protect you, and lifting weights won’t increase your risk for lymphedema, it will actually decrease your risk!
There are about 600 lymph nodes in the human body and what moves lymphatic fluid through the system is muscle contractions, movement of the body part, increased breathing rate and increased heart rate… so let’s get you moving. Listen in to this episode as we discuss the evidence based ways to protect yourself from Lymphedema and debunk the old, outdated precautions.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Menopause Myth Busting – nope you can’t blame that on menopause!
Whether you are pre, peri or post-menopause this is going to be a good one! This is episode number 7 of The Recovery Room Podcast: “nope you can’t blame that on menopause.” Being able to eat something to change hormone levels is a myth, the ability or need to balance your hormones is a myth, using plant based supplements to change your hormones is a myth.
The changes that happen in our body over time are natural, but they can be confusing, confounding, and difficult to cope with… so misinformation is not helpful!
I welcome to the show today gynecologist and menopause specialist Dr. Marie Forgie. She will walk us through the many myths around menopause and debunk the misinformation. She’ll define menopause, peri menopause and post menopause and arm you with evidence. This is vital, because your life is important and you can’t
be powerful without accurate information!

In health care there may be no more chilling 3 words than, “you have cancer.” Those words are associated with death, disease, disability, and horrific treatments. So traumatizing and stressful can those words be, they can send you into a fight or flight reaction and sometimes even mental parallelization. If you have heard those 3 words you, you may be breaking into a cold sweat now just thinking about it, and may by familiar with the stressors associated with the early diagnosis period.
Welcome to the Recovery Room Podcast. In this episode, “those 3 f’ing words,” we are discussing the early stressors of a cancer diagnosis. I welcome you to this conversation, we are joined today by licensed clinical social worker, Jeanette Baas. Additionally, Jeanette is a cancer survivor with a diagnosis story with a twist!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Remember the 1991 mega hit Let’s talk about sex by salt n Pepa?
“Don't decoy, avoid, or make void the topic, Let's talk about sex.”
Welcome to the Recovery Room Podcast and yes Salt and Pepa, that is what we are going to do. More specifically we’ll talk about how sex and sexual health may be impacted by cancer. We will define the differences between emotional intimacy and physical intimacy, and an individual’s sexuality and sexual health…because all of this may be negatively and perhaps profoundly impacted by cancer: pain from surgery or radiation, fatigue, missing body parts, emotional changes, hormonal changes, changes in desire, changes in relationships, changes in body composition, hair loss, pelvic floor, erectile dysfunction. It is a huge issue!
I welcome you to our conversation today. We are joined by Erin Sullivan Wagner, a cancer sexual health specialist and certified coach. After being diagnosed with anal cancer Erin experienced long-lasting sexual health side effects from her cancer treatment. After receiving little to no help from her care team Erin made a life-long commitment to help cancer patients and provide the support she never received.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
An incredibly stressful time in cancer care is the time of treatment completion and the transition into cancer survivorship. This one catches people off guard. You’ve rung the bell, so exhaustingly and blissfully happy to be done with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. But then you realize when it’s over, it’s not really over. You eventually realize you may not fit neatly into your previous world. You may still face a wall of weakness, side effects, and uncertainty. And new fears can creep in. You may also feel like all of your favorite doctors and nurses are now on the other side of a door that just closed behind you. You’re supposed to go back to normal, but nothing is normal and everyone around you thinks you should be fine.
So There you stand, dumped off the cancer conveyor belt with no road map. Welcome to the crickets of early cancer survivorship. This is what we are talking about today. Welcome to The Recovery Room Podcast. I’m cancer physical therapist Dr. Leslie Waltke. My guest today on the show is nurse practitioner and cancer survivor specialist Michelle Kirschner.

In this poignant episode of The Recovery Room Podcast we delve into one of the most prevalent and terrifying challenges faced by cancer survivors: the fear of recurrence. The psychological impacts of cancer recurrence anxiety can have profound effects on well-being and quality of life. Host Dr. Leslie Waltke and her guest, Mindfulness Specialist and cancer survivor Kimberly Macon, invite you to join them to explore strategies and insights to confront this lingering fear head-on. We will be discussing how to use a centering thought to quiet the potentially nagging fear of recurrence voice. You’ll also get some tips and tools for you to better understand your risk and create your own powerful centering thought.
Even in the face of uncertainty, we possess the strength to rise above our fears and embrace life with newfound courage, strength and grace. Join us as we navigate through the complexities of survivorship, offering practical tips and mindfulness techniques to help listeners embrace the present moment and reclaim their sense of control over their lives.
