Dr. Jean-Luc “JL” Neptune shares his compelling caregiver story of caring for his mother and father's cancer diagnoses simultaneously with the help of his sister. We delve into how his experience impacted his career, his outlook into the flaws of the healthcare system, and his perspective on what patients (and caregivers) can do to get the most out of their care. #caregiversupport #oncology #cancereducation #podcast #healthcareinnovation

🏆 Award alert! 🏆 We are thrilled that our "Patient from Hell" podcast episode 36 "A Brother's Gift" won a 2024 Digital Health Award! Get ready to be inspired by Esther Levy and her son Wills as they share their family's story: https://lnkd.in/gwfX4Z-h Wills was only five years old when he donated bone marrow to his one year old brother, Andrew. On this episode, Wills and his mom Esther talk about Andrew’s cancer experience and the impact on their family, how Wills’ cells gave the family extra time with Andrew to create memories, and how Andrew continues to guide the way they live, even after his death in 2016. This beautiful conversation highlights the power of a mother’s intuition, and a brother’s mission to squeeze every opportunity out of life knowing that time is never guaranteed. cc: Dan Levy #cancerpodcast #cancerstories #legacyoflove
