A podcast about cancer survivorship where Sarah Marion, a 28-year old resident physician at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, sits down with cancer survivors and providers to cancer patients to hear about stories since diagnosis and what it's like to take care of cancer patients.
Doris Piccinin is outdoorsy—she loves hiking and skiing, embraced farm-to-table cooking long before it became trendy, and absolutely adores her dog. As a breast cancer survivor, Doris shares her experience navigating treatment, managing side effects, and finding her way through survivorship. But her role in the cancer community doesn’t end there: she is a cancer dietitian at the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center and brings her therapy-dog-in-training to support both patients and staff.
Tune in to this month’s episode to hear Doris’s story—from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship, healing, and helping others along the way!
