Surviving and Thriving with Melanoma
Living with melanoma is emotionally stressful, no matter which side of the challenge you are on. Melanoma has more than a physical impact when living with the disease. It’s also a significant source of emotional distress, anxiety, and depression—both during treatment and after.
To that end, AIM at Melanoma has launched a new monthly podcast series in 2022, Beyond the Clinic: Living Well With Melanoma. The 2022 season features fresh perspectives into topics seldom discussed in the exam room.
Director of Cancer Survivorship for Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, Raymond Liu, MD, hosts the Beyond the Clinic podcast featuring unfiltered discussions with researchers, caregivers, patients, and medical professionals. Each episode pulls back the curtain to share advice on handling life after a melanoma diagnosis, and how to ride the emotional rollercoaster that often follows.
You can listen to the podcast wherever podcasts are available (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Anchor, and more). Listen online below, or subscribe and download on your favorite podcasting platform.
