Between Appointments
Real talk about what happens between the medical visits, the scans, and the treatments. I'm Traci Green, a cancer survivor who fields late-night texts about why everything tastes like pennies and whether it's normal to cry in the grocery store.
This is for patients wondering why their tears smell different now, and caregivers googling "how to wash hair after mastectomy" at 2am. No medical jargon, no toxic positivity - just honest 10-minute stories about the stuff nobody tells you. Like when your partner stops sharing your bed because you smell like chemicals, or why you suddenly hate your favorite foods.
Whether you're in the chemo chair, supporting someone who is, or sitting in your car after another appointment - this is your space between the medical moments. Where someone finally says, "yeah, that happened to me too."
New episodes weekly. Come as you are - brain fog, tears, and all.
