Mind. Body. Spirit. Cancer. with Pat Croce will delve into cancer stories of well-known figures.
From television host Maria Menounos, to retired major league baseball player John Kruk, notable figures will share an intimate look into their cancer journey during the new limited series podcast: “Mind. Body. Spirit. Cancer. with Pat Croce,” produced by the American Cancer Society.
During each video and audio podcast, Croce, a cancer survivor, entrepreneur, and New York Times best-selling author, will delve into the cancer stories of some of today’s most well-known figures in entertainment, sports, literature, and more. Each episode will bring uplifting, informative, and mission-driven storytelling to cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and the community at large.
“ACS friend, advocate and volunteer, Pat Croce, understands the powerful link between mind, body, and soul when it comes to battling and surviving cancer,” said CEO Dr. Karen Knudsen. “The podcast will serve as a vehicle to inspire others to share their stories, get screened and support our vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.”
Dr. Knudsen will join Croce during each episode for a segment called ACS Mission Moment to discuss topics including prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship. Together they will dive deeper into the science behind cancer care and how ACS can help patients, caregivers, and their families navigate a cancer diagnosis.
Comedian Tig Notaro will join the series on Sept. 26 as the first guest and share her battle with stage two bilateral breast cancer and how difficult it was for her to look at herself following her surgery.
