Robert Bennett, PhD, CPNP-AC
Please join us for this special episode live from CancerCon®, a young adult cancer conference presented by Stupid Cancer®.
A diagnosis of cancer can present many challenges when it comes to relationships with others and the relationship you have with yourself. In this episode, we speak with experts about rediscovering yourself after cancer, exploring mental health treatment, and cancer “ghosting”.
Be sure to tune into our prior LIVE! At CancerCon episode, where we interviewed young adult patients and survivors to hear their thoughts on transitioning from their oncologist to a primary care provider.

I’m New to LLS but I will stay in touch
It has been a long journey with my cancer. Not only for me but my family. You have to stay positive and never think the worst. I know it is hard but you got this and God got you.
Enjoyed session! Two years with multiple myeloma. Vision is current visiter depending on type of light.
You may know as I know that the doctors working in this field are angels sent here to of folks like you and me. Keep praying and especially for our medics teams. I’m also praying for you God bless all of you.
This podcast was excellent!! Although I’m not young, at 66, with plasma cell leukemia (like multiple myeloma on steroids), the information shared was still highly applicable! I will be starting apheresis tomorrow for a Nov. 15 stem cell transplant.
Again, this was good stuff!
