Surviving & Thriving with Savannah Bay Tristan Tapscott

Join Sav and Tristan as they talk with special guest, Austin R. Thompson, about his cancer diagnosis, survivorship, and filmmaking. From tackling pediatric cancer to dealing with a second diagnosis during a pandemic, Austin is a bada$$ who is still working hard and creating art, despite the obstacles.

Join Sav as she talks about one of the most difficult side effects to deal with during chemotherapy: Hair Loss. Why is it such a big deal when you're battling cancer? Why does it feel like you're losing a piece of yourself? Does your hair change when it grows back? She answers all these questions and more.

Sav talks about getting back into theatre and auditioning, the show that was “meant to be”, adjusting to life after her career was shut down, and takings things one day at time.

Savannah talks about having to change her mindset, getting back into her career, wearing a mask before it was cool and surviving a red light.
