"I find Hope-Cast enjoyable as it allows me to appreciate the short moments that like a tiny tile make up a beautiful mosaic of the care given at Norton Cancer Institute, " said Aaron Spalding, M.D., Ph. D., radiation oncologist and executive medical director, Norton Cancer Institute.
Standout Episodes? Each episode highlights a different cancer or blood disease illuminated through the unique lens of our patients and their caregivers. Through these real-life accounts of dealing with chronic illnesses, we can celebrate the victories of the human spirit!
"The definition of hope is the knowledge that we can overcome anything that we're faced with," said Joseph M. Flynn, D.O., MPH, FACP, chief administrative officer, Norton Medical Group, and physician-in-chief, Norton Cancer Institute. "Hope-Cast offers an easy way to gain insights and understanding of the incredible ways we help our patients."

The Polyvagal Model and the Trauma of Cancer
The polyvagal theory teaches us to engage our social nervous system to consciously inhibit our defense system. This allows us to find freedom from trauma symptoms and experience a deeply nourishing sense of safety in the here and now. Today we are talking to two members of our behavioral oncology team: Amber Estes, APRN, PMHNP-BC and Erica Wiley, LCSW about the polyvagal model and ways we can identify and exercise this important part of our nervous system to find peace in the face of past or present trauma.
