    The Athlete

    In this episode of The Aftershock Podcast, we speak to AFL legend Jarryd Roughead - a 4-time premiership winning forward, former Hawthorn captain, and one of the most respected figures in the game. But in 2016, Jarryd faced something far more daunting than any grand final opponent: a cancer diagnosis that would change his life forever. Today’s conversation goes far beyond the world of sport. Jarryd opens up about his cancer journey - from the initial shock of the diagnosis, through the treatments, the mental and physical toll, and ultimately, the strength and support that carried him through. It’s a story of vulnerability and perspective, a conversation about life, fear, and hope - and the power of facing adversity head-on. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    There are many treatment options a cancer patient may face. Some are well known, others are not.

Nat shares with us how radiation therapy can help and cure patients of their cancer, and the approaches her and her team take to educate patients and their families.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Unexpected Turn

    For Briony Benjamin, life was going along pretty well. That was until at the age of 31, when Briony was diagnosed with advanced stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma. Going through cancer treatment was life changing, so Briony wrote a book about it. In this episode of The Aftershock Podcast I speak to Briony Benjamin, author of Life is tough but so are you. There was so much I took out of this book, so I couldn't wait to chat to Briony and dive deeper into her experience of the aftershock of a cancer diagnosis.

    The Teacher

    A child being diagnosed with cancer is a beyond devastating and disrupting time in their lives. It's not just the patient but their parents who are overwhelmed with information and meeting various staff of the hospital. Thankfully people like Suzie exist. In this episode of The Aftershock Podcast, I speak to Suzie Alev, who is a teacher in the Cancer Centre at the Monash Children's Hospital in Melbourne. I didn't know this role existed, and was so excited to chat to Suzie about the role she plays in a cancer patient's life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
