Episode: #101: Dana Lyons on the Cancer Conversation Nobody Has After Year One

Dana Lyons is back for round two, and this conversation goes places the first one didn't. She and Dr. Cindy sit down two years and twelve years out from their own cancer diagnoses to talk about what actually happens once the casseroles stop coming and the attention moves on. They get into mirror work, why "cancer-free" is a dangerous phrase, and the difference between surviving something and actually thriving past it.
