Losing a Loved One

In 2021, our host Patrick (a cancer survivor himself) lost his father, Paul, to skin cancer. Washington University medical oncologist Jesse Keller, MD, who cared for Paul for years, joins us to reflect on the relationships that form between doctors, patients and their families. We also explore the value of hospice care as another form of treating cancer.
