What does it really mean to be well while living with cancer? How do you find hope when a diagnosis changes everything? And how can a difficult health journey become a source of purpose for others?
In this powerful episode of Ask the Patient Advocate, Dr. Elena Brelli sits down with Shawn Elizabeth George, wellness educator, writer, speaker, rare cancer advocate, and two-time marathon runner, to explore resilience, wellness, and patient advocacy after a life-changing diagnosis.
Shawn shares her deeply personal journey through anxiety and depression, her diagnosis with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC)—a rare salivary gland cancer—and the realities of treatment, recovery, and life beyond cancer. She opens up about undergoing surgery, proton beam radiation, and chemotherapy while raising a young family, and why the support of family, friends, healthcare providers, and community can make such a profound difference.
