Podcasthon Special: Survivor Series with Talaya Dendy

"The 'all-clear' is often where the real work of healing begins."

In this special Podcasthon 2026 episode of Navigating Cancer TOGETHER, host Talaya Dendy (Board-Certified Patient Advocate & Cancer Doula) pulls back the curtain on the unfiltered reality of life after cancer. Talaya shares her own 14-year "thriver" journey and explains why we must move beyond forced positivity to address the "Gumbo of Emotions" survivors face.

This episode highlights the Survivor Series with Talaya Dendy, a multimedia initiative designed to reach individuals worldwide as they reconcile the past and design an entirely new chapter.
