Leah is joined by MN Native News reporter Melissa Townsend, who
is a cancer survivor herself and discusses staying vigilant
around taking care of your health, even as the pandemic
complicates the whole process of seeking screenings, treatments,
and follow-up care.

We hear wise words from Dr. Anthony Stately, and elder Sharon
Day. And we also hear information from Mayo Clinic oncologist Dr.
Tanios Bekaii-Saab and Dr. Halena Gazelka of the Mayo Clinic,

Also, MN Native News reporter Melissa Townsend speaks with
AICAF’s Misha Loeffler and Jessica Makori, about getting help and
support while navigating a cancer diagnosis and treatment,

And we check out the great resources the American Indian Cancer
Foundation (AICAF) has on their website, including the Cancer
Burden Booklet. Find out more at americanindiancancer.org.
