  Jesús Trejo | Comedy, Caregiving & the Circle of Life

  Dec 5, 202515 minS2

  <p>Care can feel like a private storm—until someone holds the door, sends a goofy gif, or says me too. We sat down with comedian Jesús Trejo at the Carbone Cancer Center’s Fall Cancer Conference to unpack what caregiving really looks like across a lifetime: advocating for an aging parent, showing up through late-stage needs, and learning patience all over again with a six-month-old at home. The thread that connects it all is simple and hard at once—ask for help, take tiny pockets of time, and let humor do its quiet work.<br/><br/>Jesús shares h...

  Dr. Noelle Loconte, UW Health | Caregiving Under Pressure

  Nov 21, 202528 minS2

  <p>Caregiving changes you. Under the pressure of serious diagnoses and relentless decisions, we talk candidly about what keeps caregivers and clinicians going—and where the system falls short. With Dr. Noelle Loconte, a GI medical oncologist and community outreach leader at the UW Carbone Cancer Center, we unpack the skills that protect empathy, the boundaries that prevent collapse, and the uncomfortable truth so many avoid: alcohol is a carcinogen.<br/><br/>We explore why oncologists—already at high risk for burnout—often consume more alcohol and may hesitate to counsel patients about drinking. You’ll hear how an ASCO policy s...

  Kelsey Swenson, FNP – UW Health | Why Support Matters in Cancer Caregiving

  Nov 14, 202517 minS2

  <p>Caregiving doesn’t pause for work shifts, school pickup, or broken cars—and it definitely doesn’t pause for a two-hour drive to chemo. We sit down with Kelsey Swenson, a pediatric nurse practitioner in hematology and oncology, to talk candidly about the human side of cancer care: the relief of remission, the weight of dual roles, and the countless micro-decisions that shape a family’s survival plan.<br/><br/>Kelsey traces how family cancers first drew her to oncology and how stepping from clinician to daughter changed the way she listens, explains, and grieves. From pediatric leukemia to the ripp...
