Finding Chemo Podcast

Nick Theisen

Cancer isn't funny, but we all know laughter is the best medicine. Hosted by veteran standup comedian and current cancer warrior Nick Theisen, this podcast will guide you to the resources you may be looking for. We speak with medical professionals, insurance specialists, and, most of all, guests who are also fighting the battle and some of their experiences finding the lighter side of cancer.
