Episode 32 – Pediatric cancers and evolution of a patient leader

We are excited to present this podcast!

We have had the pleasure of having Suad Ismail as our guest today! Suad is a mom, survivor of pediatric cancer, social worker, patient advocate and leader, and an amazing speaker.

Suad and Sevtap talked about two topics that are their shared interest: Pediatric cancers and patient partnerships. They touched the following questions:

  1. What are pediatric cancers?
  2. Suad’s pediatric cancer story full of challenges as well as resilience
  3. Importance of seeing both the system and patient side
  4. How to bridge research and healthcare system with patient experience, and why?
  5. Active engagement of patients in everything from knowing their rights in clinic to reach out to others who may help them realize their goals

We cannot thank Suad enough for this very energizing and eye-opening podcast.

Take a look!
