When you think of cancer, who do you see in your mind's eye? Do you see the patient? Do you see the doctors or nurses? Do you think of the patient's parents? Typically when we think of illness we imagine the patient who is affected. How often do you think about the patient's direct family/support system?We are so grateful to Cata's sisters, Josi and Franzi,  for having this conversation with us about their experiences with cancer.

One rant led to another and here you have it, a full discourse between Cata and Haley on barriers to care for pain management. Cata shares her stories as a former cancer patient and Haley gives her take as a provider in pain management. Tune in to listen and be educated on some frustrating aspects of the American medical system. Let's work together to end the stigma around chronic pain.  SAMHSA’s National Helpline, 1-800-662-HELP (4357) (also known as the Treatment Referral Routing Service), or TTY: 1-800-487-4889 is a confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental and/or substance use disorders.

On this episode Cata and Haley chat about 4 little letters that have a BIG impact on roughly 3.5% of the adult US population (according to a 2022 study at OHSU)! These famous letters are.. A-D-H-D! Haley takes the time to sit down and ask Cata about her recent diagnosis and what life has been like before, and during, treatment. Tune in to get scoop on all the things that Catalina is still learning about her very own brain!P.S. if you haven’t heard from Cata in a while and fear that it may be personal, please don’t fret! Just send her a little reminder. We promise it’s probably just because she is currently hyper-fixated on the Jigsawscapes app (not an ad [but also Jigsawscapes hmu to sponsor])and forgot to respond! You can never go wrong with a reminder text ;) #outofsightoutofmind
