– Dealing with pain as a patient both pre– and post–cancer treatment

– How to effectively communicate as a patient to your doctor and as a doctor to your patient

– The challenges with working through unmanaged pain and how this affects both your physical and mental health

– How to navigate through the barriers that pain causes

– The reality of advocating for your patients and for yourself. And more!”
