This is the second part of an interview I did with Leah de Roulet, Oncology Social Worker, in which she discusses some of the leading practical as well as emotional challenges facing patients and caregivers as a person progresses with cancer.   Whether we’re talking about helping a patient recognize that they can no longer live independently or coming to terms with an anticipated death, I learned that these problems are difficult for everyone and that there are few situations for which there are clear answers.

Although there is a video version that will stream to people who have subscribed to the feed for the social work vertical, this interview doesn’t have any associated figures other than a title slide, so I’m only providing the podcast link here to the audio version (subscribe to the audio version feed here).

As always, there’s a transcript to go with this program:

I always enjoy talking with Leah, and I hope you can get a sense of her amazingly sunny personality through this, even when discussing topics that are tough ones to discuss and still be cheerful with everyone around you.

If there are other topics in the realm of social work and coping with cancer that people would like to discuss, I am always delighted to spend more time talking with Leah, or she may want to write a post about a new topic in her field.
