    Episode 77: Finding Calm Waters, Chris's Experience as a Glioblastoma Caregiver

    Chris Schuler opens up about his experience as a caregiver, navigating the challenges of neurodegeneration, particularly his father’s glioblastoma diagnosis. He shares the emotional turmoil, confusion, along with the overwhelming process of navigating the healthcare system. The conversation underscores the importance of raising awareness and understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and their impact on families. We also delve into the problematic nature of the 'standard of care' in oncology, highlighting the critical need to advocate for yourself. Check out the article Samira referenced towards the end of this episode here. My Cancer GPS™ is coming! Step-by-step subway maps that guide you through the entire cancer experience. Learn more here!⁠ Key Highlights: 1. Self-advocacy is critical in getting the care that’s best for you, so ask questions, and get involved. Your healthcare team cares for you and wants to see you back on your feet, but no one can care more than you do. 2. Caregivers need to look after themselves, too. It can feel like there’s no room for yourself, but you must find joy. Find joy so that you can cherish whoever is under your care. 3. The role of a caregiver is both rewarding and demanding. Being an advocate for a loved one is a necessary responsibility because the standard is not always the best care you can receive for your individual case. About our guest: Chris Schuler is a staunch brain cancer awareness advocate. He was the primary caregiver to his late Dad, Donald Schuler, who was diagnosed with GBM in July 2021. He works closely with organizations across the globe, amplifying their critical work and building key relationships to further improve outcomes for patients. He recently finished a year-long consultancy with Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, an Australian non-profit dedicated to improving outcomes in brain cancer. He's currently a Venture Partner with Varia Ventures, working to raise awareness for emerging venture funds dedicated to uncovering and funding innovative discoveries to improve brain health. He also works closely with SageMedic, a precision oncology start-up supporting patients looking for the most effective treatment for cancer. Chris continues on as his Dad's caregiver — caregiver to his life, legacy and memory.     At 33 minutes and 18 seconds: “From that very moment, I went from being a lot of things in my life, being a son, a nephew, a grandson, a friend, eventually an uncle, a husband, a father. Now I am a caregiver. I want to say nothing prepared me for that. Everything prepared me for that. The way I was raised, everything I experienced in my life, every up, every down, every victory, every rejection, everything led to this moment where I am now my dad's caregiver with my mom. I call myself the primary caregiver because there was something she couldn't do for him, and how do you become an advocate? How do you take on what seems insurmountable? And I say to any listeners, you can do it. You have what's in you to do it, to be the very best caregiver, because all you need is one prerequisite to be a caregiver. You need to be able to love. If you can love, you are a caregiver.” Disclaimer: All content and information provided in connection with Manta Cares is solely intended for informational and educational purposes only.  This content and information is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

    Episode 76: Why Caregiver Sleep Matters in Cancer Treatment with Dr. Eneida Nemecek

    In this episode, we speak with Dr. Eneida Nemecek, a pediatric oncologist specializing in bone marrow transplants and cellular therapies. Dr. Nemecek provides an in-depth look at the science behind these treatments, the process patients go through, and the challenges faced by both patients and caregivers. She emphasizes the importance of caregiver well-being, particularly sleep, and discusses a PCORI study on stress management for caregivers. The episode concludes with a rapid-fire Q&A session covering key terms and concepts in the field. This episode was supported by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and features these PCORI studies (Study #1 & Study #2) by Mark Laudenslager, PhD. Key Highlights: 1. Bone marrow transplant involves replacing a patient's immune system with a healthier one, either from a donor or the patient's own modified cells. 2. Caregiver quality of life, especially sleep, is crucial for patient outcomes in bone marrow transplant cases. 3. CAR-T therapy is a form of cellular therapy where white blood cells are engineered to attack specific targets, offering new treatment options for certain cancers. About our guest: Dr. Eneida Nemecek is a Professor of Pediatrics and Medical Oncology and Associate Director of Clinical Research at the Knight Cancer Institute-Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon. Native from Puerto Rico, she completed her Pediatric residency at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH and Pediatric Hematology/Oncology fellowship at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington. She has a Master in Epidemiology and Clinical Research from the University of Washington and a Master in Healthcare Business Administration from OHSU. Dr. Nemecek is an established clinical researcher with over 20 years of experience in trials ranging from investigator-initiated early phase to large, multicenter studies funded by a variety of mechanisms.  Her research focuses on bone marrow and cellular therapies, experimental oncology therapeutics and health services research addressing disparities in access for underrepresented groups. She has served in leadership roles in steering committees for several national cooperative research groups.  She has also held elected leadership positions as director, trustee or committee chair in multiple professional organizations.

If you are the one caregiver of a patient and you get sick because you're stressed and not getting enough rest, then you get affected and your patient gets affected too. It's a very important part of our health. Eat, sleep, get some time for yourself. Those are all things that just need to happen. The way that we're designing medicine today, sometimes we forget that the caregiver is kind of a patient. If we lose that person, we are in serious trouble. I can tell you multiple examples about when that has happened and how difficult it is for the medical team and for the family.” At 28:03 “I think it's really important to remind ourselves that the brain, our psychosocial life, is part of our health. I think sleep, exercise, diet studies, anything that can improve the life of people should be studied in a very organized setting, just like you study drugs, if we're going to do this well.” Disclaimer: All content and information provided in connection with Manta Cares is solely intended for informational and educational purposes only.  This content and information is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

And so I, as I'm talking to you right now, I am in pain. And I often have people say, ‘you don't look like you're in pain.’ And I'm like, look, it's not Halloween yet. I don't want to scare you. If I looked how I truly, truly felt on the daily, you would think you're in a scary movie. And so, dealing with multiple types of pain, chronic pain, is something I never, ever thought would be part of my cancer experience."

We just think, we're so fortunate to have you here and be able to raise you. When we sat down to start Worth the Wait, we said, okay, if we were able to remove that financial barrier, would you be willing to go through what is also a difficult process? And the answer was yes." - Mike Scherer At 32 minutes: "There's so many stories of AYA patients every week who are reaching out for assistance and there are people who are maxing out their credit cards to pay for [fertility treatments]. There's people I know that are selling t-shirts, that are selling popcorn, that are doing these things because this is the one thing in their life that they want to have a chance at." - Megan Scherer At 38 minutes: “"You don't have time to waste and depending on the diagnosis you may have a very short window. Banking sperm takes a day but preserving eggs can take weeks, so you want to know upfront." - Megan Scherer Disclaimer: All content and information provided in connection with Manta Cares is solely intended for informational and educational purposes only.  This content and information is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Key Highlights: 1. Dr. Barned's dual perspective as a doctor and cancer patient provides a rare and insightful look into the complexities of cancer care. 2. The episode emphasizes the importance of patient education and self-advocacy in navigating cancer treatment and palliative care. 3. Dr. Barned's experience reveals gaps in doctor-patient communication and understanding, particularly regarding palliative chemotherapy.

Key Moments: At 3 minutes : "So I had to do a lot of compartmentalization and it was some a lot of the times it was tough especially when I got patients who were younger and you know they reminded me of myself.... I've diagnosed patients with cancer, treated the side effects of cancer, you know, had to have those difficult conversations where I'm like,’ look, treatment is not working. We need to switch to more comfort based measures.’ I've had to bring in hospice and, you know, I've even had to pronounce time of death. So I've seen the entire spectrum and I mean, one of the things that it definitely does make me, it makes me very grateful for the life that I have." At 30 minutes: "Most patients when you're going through a diagnosis of cancer, you are not necessarily understanding everything because the emotions that are tied to hearing you have cancer. So just hearing that in itself is a blow, much less hearing you have advanced disease. That's going to be another blow as well. And a lot of the times when doctors are talking to you after hearing those two statements, it kind of sounds like, again, I'm going to be aging myself, but you remember Charlie Brown? When the adult was talking... you didn't hear anything. And that's kind of what it's like when a patient is hearing all of this information from their doctors." Manta Maps are coming!

    Episode 70: Lung Cancer Screening, Stigma, and Science with Dr. Bellinda King-Kallimanis

    In this episode we speak with Bellinda King-Kallimanis, PhD, an expert in oncology research and patient advocacy. Bellinda shares her diverse experience in the field, from academia to the FDA and now her role at LUNGevity Foundation. The conversation covers various aspects of lung cancer, including screening procedures, risk factors, and common misconceptions. Bellinda emphasizes the importance of early detection and addresses the stigma associated with lung cancer. We also delve into the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and a study comparing the impact of using different types of material to communicate screening information to patients. The episode also includes a rapid-fire Q&A section, where Bellinda provides concise explanations of key terms and concepts related to lung cancer. This episode was supported by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and features this PCORI study by Robert J. Volk, PhD. Key Highlights: 1. Lung cancer screening compliance is strikingly low at 5-6%, despite high risk for those with tobacco history, and additional requirements may further complicate the process. 2. Stigma surrounding lung cancer, primarily due to its association with smoking, can deter people from seeking screening or discussing their health history, despite the fact that people with no tobacco history or people who have not smoked can also develop the disease. 3. Patient involvement in research, through initiatives like citizen science programs, and improved communication of complex information are crucial for advancing lung cancer care and understanding. About our guest: Dr. Bellinda King-Kallimanis is Senior Director of Patient-Focused Research at LUNGevity Foundation. In her work at LUNGevity she aims to ensure that patient and caregiver voices are incorporated in decision making across a wide variety of stakeholders and has built a Citizen Scientist program to aid this. Prior to joining LUNGevity, she worked at the US Food and Drug Administration Oncology Center of Excellence on the Patient Focused Drug Development team. There, she worked on the development and launch of Project Patient Voice, a resource for patients and caregivers along with their healthcare providers to look at patient-reported symptom data collected from cancer clinical trials. Bellinda also has experience in industry and academia and has published over 70 peer-reviewed papers. She received her Bachelor of Social Science and Master of Science in applied statistics from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, and her PhD in psychometrics from the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Key Moment: At 38:39 “I've taken it on to try to improve my communication as a researcher, because we spend so many years reading complex materials that you just start talking that way. It does not resonate with my family. They'll be like, what are you talking about? Who do you think you are? So if we really want to be able to talk to people and connect the work we do, then we have to be able to talk about it in much simpler terms. I really do think it's so important for us all to work on our abilities to make sure that we are speaking to each other versus, I've been in plenty of conversations where people are not speaking, they're just speaking around each other because there's a gap in the understanding and healthcare is already like very complex and cancer is really scary. So,just being aware of not talking in acronyms all the time.” Visit the ⁠Manta Cares Website⁠ Disclaimer: All content and information provided in connection with Manta Cares is solely intended for informational and educational purposes only.  This content and information is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
