Surviving and Thriving with Melanoma
Podcasts are a unique medium that allows for intimate and personal storytelling. Melanoma patients often feel isolated and misunderstood, but listening to others share their experiences can provide a sense of connection and understanding. Our podcast, Beyond the Clinic: Living Well With Melanoma features unfiltered discussions with melanoma survivors, caregivers, and medical professionals who offer a diverse range of perspectives and insights on the melanoma journey.
One of the biggest advantages of a podcast is its convenience and accessibility. Melanoma patients often have to spend long hours in waiting rooms or undergoing treatment, and podcasts like this can provide a welcome distraction during these times. All episodes can also be listened to at any time, making them a great resource for patients who may have trouble sleeping or need something to occupy their minds during difficult moments.
Our podcast is easily accessible through various platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. This means you can listen to Beyond the Clinic: Living Well With Melanoma on your preferred device, whether it's a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
