Haryana is the Research Fellow in Cancer Survivorship at the Centre for Medical Psychology and Evidence-based Decision-making (CeMPED) University of Sydney) and Kim has a long career in oncology social work.

The Thing About Cancer Podcasts
Evexia Care co-founder and Sydney Medical Oncologist, Dr Diana Adams has helped treat people affected by cancer at every stage of the cancer journey. From diagnosis through to treatment and survivorship. At 19 years old, while studying at medical school, her best friend was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Having survived, Dr Adams’ friend then faced and survived a breast cancer diagnosis. “It’s a very personal connection for me, and really d...rove my passion to work in the cancer space, particularly to work in survivorship and after-care,” Dr Adams says. As Senior Staff Specialist at Macarthur Cancer Therapy Centre and Cancer Survivorship Specialist at Evexia – Living well after cancer, Dr Adams dedicates her time to helping patients to manage their symptoms and side-effects from treatment. Her approach to patients involves discussions with a patient’s team of health professionals including GPs and other specialists in an effort to ensure patients are fully supported throughout and after their active treatment. While researching information resources to recommend to her patients, Dr Adams came across Cancer Council NSW’s podcast series The Thing About Cancer. The podcast series was a new initiative by Cancer Council NSW, hosted by broadcaster and cancer survivor Julie McCrossin. Season one, launched in 2017, included ten episodes featuring interviews with health professionals and people affected by cancer covering topics as diverse as considering treatment options, coping with fatigue and explaining cancer to kids.
Dr Adams began recommending the podcast episodes to her patients at Macarthur and incorporated them into her survivorship plans for patients at Evexia. Read more here: http://oncologynews.com.au/the-thing-abou t-cancer-podcasts/
