About this episode
Sam Watson, a survivor and extraordinary advocate for other survivors, shares her experiences and wisdom with our hosts on navigating survivorship and financial toxicity.
A Note from Sam:
"I jumped at the chance to be part of this podcast because I wish there had been something like this when I was diagnosed with cancer as a young adult almost 25 years ago. I hope that sharing my story, lessons learned along the way, and perspective as a 20-year patient advocate will help other young adults feel less alone and more empowered to move forward with pride and support."
