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). Click to listen now. As always, there's a transcript to go with this program: Leah de Roulet Interview Part II Transcript 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.

Several of the people who have been following GRACE have read and provided comments on discussions initiated by Leah de Roulet, an oncology social worker who has recently stepped down as the head of the very strong oncology social work group at Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle, WA after many years, but still works several days per week in her semi-retirement. She has been providing counseling and practical assistance to our patients for more than a decade, and she was kind enough to sit down with me to discuss some important aspects of oncology social work with me. This interview will be presented in two parts, with the first half included here and covering topics ranging from an introduction to what oncology social workers do, to practical issues of getting cancer care for under-insured or uninsured patients, to coping with a cancer diagnosis. Here is the audio podcast: Click to Listen Also available is the transcript: Interview with Leah de Roulet Transcript (pt 1 of 2). I'll also note that within the introduction there's a mention in it about figures that go with the interview. That's a stock piece now in all of the GRACEcasts, since the video podcasts all have figures and some of the audio interviews also have relevant figures that can be synchronized to appear during the time in the interview when the information in the figure is being discussed. This isn't one of them, though, and in this case there's just a title figure/slide. We’ll post the second part soon. I hope this information is helpful. I certainly enjoy talking with her and getting her perspective.
