Telemedicine and Life After Cancer: A Survivor's Roadmap with Dr. Stacy Henigsman | EP 82

In this powerful episode of All Talk Oncology, host Kenny Perkins welcomes Dr. Stacy Henigsman (Dr. H), a board-certified OB-GYN with over 20 years of experience and the founder of Fem Survivorship, a nationwide telemedicine-based breast and gynecologic cancer survivorship program. Dr. Henigsman joins the conversation to shed light on women’s health, the importance of regular OB-GYN care, the evolution of telemedicine, and the often-overlooked phase of cancer care: survivorship. Together, they discuss how virtual care is breaking barriers, especially for women in rural or underserved communities, and how survivorship programs can dramatically improve quality of life for cancer survivors.   In this episode, Dr. Henigsman discusses: * How telemedicine expands access for women in rural and underserved areas. * Managing long-term side effects like onco-menopause, neuropathy, and mental health. * Why 60% of women never enter a survivorship program—and how to change that. * How Fem Survivorship coordinates care across mental health, nutrition, physical therapy, and more. * The importance of validating women’s post-cancer experiences. * Why survivorship begins at diagnosis—not after treatment ends. This episode is a must-listen for women navigating life after cancer, caregivers, and healthcare advocates looking to understand the future of comprehensive cancer care.   Immortalize your voice by being an ALL TALK ONCOLOGY GUEST! Just fill-out this FORM [https://www.alltalkoncology.com/podcast-guest-application].

Grace Under the Lights: A Surgeon Who Leads with Heart

In this powerful virtual episode of All Talk Oncology, host Kenny Perkins (Your Cancer Guy) connects online with Dr. Jose Jimenez, a leading oncologic surgeon at Clinica Biblica in San Jose. Dr. Jimenez opens up about what most patients never see the emotional weight of delivering a cancer diagnosis and the responsibility surgeons carry long after they leave the operating room. From sharing tears with families to offering prayers before surgery, he reveals why compassion, humility, and faith are essential parts of cancer care. This conversation goes beyond surgical technique. Dr. Jimenez explains Costa Rica’s public and private healthcare systems and why he chooses to serve in both to ensure that patients from all backgrounds receive quality care. He also shares why holistic, team-based oncology including psychology, nutrition, and coordinated specialty care is critical for true healing.   In this episode, Dr. Jimenez discusses: • The emotional reality of telling patients they have stage III or IV cancer • What surgeons feel after complex oncologic procedures • The power of empathy, prayer, and personal connection • Why patients are never “just a case” • Costa Rica’s public vs. private healthcare system • The importance of multidisciplinary oncology teams • Why humility is a cornerstone of great medicine This episode is a reminder that behind every white coat is a human being and behind every diagnosis is someone who deserves compassion, honesty, and hope.   Immortalize your voice by being an ALL TALK ONCOLOGY GUEST! Just fill-out this FORM [https://www.alltalkoncology.com/podcast-guest-application].
