Description

Today's guest is Dr. Rachel Orgel, a passionate educator with a lifelong commitment to student success. Diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer at age 13, Rachel would endure two recurrences and several surgeries in her teens and early 20s before an experimental procedure changed the game.

We talk about childhood cancer, spending weeks or months in the hospital at a time, PTSD that still affects her today, the importance of humor, what led her to write her children's book, and so much more.
