Seeing cancer as a part of life that touches every person and community is today’s reality and the spark for MCI's podcast. This is more than knowing and fighting cancer. It’s more than just relaying science, hope and technology. It’s a platform for knowledge, stories, coping advice, life tips, inspiration, humor, jokes and even smiles. Together our purpose is to demystify cancer, take away as much fear out of the diagnosis, treatment and process as we can, and defeat its grip on our lives.
