The Cancer Mavericks: A History of Survivorship
Most people don’t know that you’re considered a cancer survivor at the moment of diagnosis. It wasn’t always this way. Sixty years ago, a cancer diagnosis was a death sentence. And if you did survive, you were left to figure out the rest of your life on your own. But some survivors demanded something different, something better. This is The Cancer Mavericks, a deep-dive narrative into the people who fought for better treatment, forced doctors to listen, and pushed America to see the human side of the disease. Episodes of this series will publish monthly through the end of December 2021 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the National Cancer Act of 1971.

For anyone who has taken the journey with a loved one or lived through cancer herself, this project is the resource, the accompaniment you hoped to find along the way. How we talk about cancer matters. Knowing the stories of those who came before and exploring how their courageous discourse changed the narrative over time empowers those starting on that road today. A profound thanks to all responsible for this amazing project. It takes a village!

I am blown away by how much I love this podcast. You might think that a podcast about cancer would be full of medical jargon and depressing outcomes; this is actually a riveting look at patient advocacy and the PEOPLE that made a difference in how cancer is viewed today. I am totally hooked. The host, Matthew Zachary, weaves his own story into the narrative, along with his beautiful score, performed by Matthew. Anyone remotely touched by cancer with benefit from this work of art.
