The shadow of cancer survivorship: Dr. Mercedes Castiel joins a live Overlooked podcast recording at CCOCR 2026
This episode from the ‘Overlooked’ podcast features a conversation about cancer survivorship: host Golda Arthur talks to Dr. Mercedes Castiel about the challenges survivors face as they rebuild their lives, past the diagnosis. This conversation took place as a podcast taping with a live audience at the recent Canadian Conference on Ovarian Cancer Research (CCOCR), organized by Ovarian Cancer Canada (Hyperlink Ovarian Cancer Canada: https://ovariancanada.org) and hosted in partnership with our team in Vancouver, British Columbia. The episode also features stories from people in that audience who shared their experiences of survival. Tune in to explore the often-overlooked reality of cancer survivorship and the question at the heart of this conversation: what happens after treatment ends?
