From an asthma attack that left her unconscious… to becoming the physician she once needed. ❤️

At just 18 years old, Tiffany experienced a terrifying asthma attack that gave her a firsthand understanding of what it feels like to be a patient—fear, uncertainty, and vulnerability.

Instead of letting that experience define her, she used it as her driving force to become a doctor who could truly understand her patients.

Now, she’s working on the future of cancer care through circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) a promising tool that may help identify certain mutations, guide treatment decisions, detect recurrent cancer, and potentially play a larger role in cancer screening.

In this episode of All Talk Oncology, Tiffany shares her journey from patient to physician and how her personal experience continues to shape the way she cares for others.
🎙️ New episode drops Monday, September 14!

Finishing treatment can feel like the moment everything is supposed to go back to normal but for many people, that transition is more complicated than they expected.

There can be relief, but also uncertainty.
Excitement, but also fear.
A desire to move forward, while still feeling like the body and mind need time to catch up.

Sometimes life after cancer means learning how to trust your body again, finding a new rhythm, and figuring out who you are beyond the treatment room.

There’s no deadline for feeling “back to normal.” Healing isn’t always a straight line, and moving forward doesn’t mean forgetting what you’ve been through.*💙

If you’re in this part of the journey, give yourself permission to take it at your own pace.

Sometimes, the hardest part of cancer isn’t something people can see.
It’s the thoughts that come up when everyone else has gone home. The questions you don’t always say out loud.

The worry about what comes next, how life will change, and whether you’re allowed to feel overwhelmed when everyone expects you to be “strong.”

You can be grateful and scared.
Hopeful and exhausted.
Strong one day and completely drained the next.

There’s no right way to feel when you’re going through cancer.
If this is where you are right now, you don’t have to pretend you have all the answers. Take it one day, one appointment, one moment at a time. 💙

Sometimes, going through something life-changing changes the way you see the things that used to matter so much.

The arguments.
The resentment.
The things you once felt you had to hold onto.

And somewhere along the way, you realize that peace can be more valuable than being right.

Cancer can change so much but sometimes it also brings a different perspective on time, relationships, and what’s truly worth carrying forward.

Not every lesson comes easily. Some are learned through moments we never would have chosen.

One of the hardest parts of a cancer journey isn’t always what’s happening. It’s what *isn’t* happening yet.

The spaces between appointments, scans, phone calls, and updates can feel incredibly heavy. Life may appear to keep moving for everyone else, while you’re left sitting with questions that don’t have answers yet.

Uncertainty has a way of making time feel slower. It can fill quiet moments with worry, anticipation, hope, and fear, all at the same time.

If you’re currently waiting for news, a follow-up appointment, or the next step in your treatment plan, be gentle with yourself. Not every day has to be productive. Not every moment has to be strong.

Sometimes, getting through the day is enough.

Save this for a difficult day, or share it with someone who may need a reminder that they’re supported through the waiting too.

Sometimes cancer becomes part of your life in ways other people can’t see.

It can change the way you think about your body, your plans, your relationships, and even ordinary moments that once felt effortless.

You may find yourself wondering if you’ll ever feel as carefree as you did before.

And while those thoughts can be difficult to carry, they deserve to be heard, not dismissed.

If someone you love is living with cancer, keep checking in. Not just when there’s a treatment or appointment, but on the ordinary days too.

Because sometimes what a person needs most is to know that they’re still being remembered, still being seen, and still being loved beyond their diagnosis. 🤍

Share this with someone who may need the reminder today.

One of the most important questions you can ask your doctor is the one you're almost afraid to say out loud.

Whether it's about your treatment, side effects, prognosis, or something that feels too personal to bring up...

Your questions matter.

Many patients worry about taking up too much time or asking the "wrong" thing.

But your appointments are about *your* health, *your* future, and *your* peace of mind.

You deserve to leave the room feeling informed, not wondering what you should have asked.

🎙️ In Episode 90 of All Talk Oncology, Dr. Jeffrey Velotta reminds us that being an advocate for yourself starts with having the courage to ask the difficult questions.

Because sometimes, the conversation you're hesitant to have is the one that helps you the most.

Feeling healthy is a good thing but it shouldn’t be the reason you skip preventive care.

Some cancers can develop without obvious warning signs, which is why routine screening can be such an important part of taking care of yourself.

The right screening schedule depends on you - your age, health history, family history, and other risk factors. If you’re unsure what applies to you, don’t guess. Ask your healthcare provider.

You don’t have to wait until something feels wrong to start taking your health seriously.

Sometimes, a simple conversation today can make a meaningful difference later. ❤️

Save this as your reminder, and share it with someone who may need the nudge.

Hearing the words, "You have cncer," can make it feel like every decision has to happen immediately.

But one of the most important messages from Episode 90 is this:
It's okay to ask for a second opinion.

Cancer care is evolving faster than ever. New treatments, technologies, and clinical approaches continue to change what's possible for patients.

A second opinion isn't about questioning your doctor's intentions.

It's about making sure you've explored your options and feel confident in the path you're choosing.

A healthcare team that welcomes collaboration is focused on one thing: helping you receive the best care possible.

🎙️ In Episode 90 of All Talk Oncology, thoracic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Velotta shares why second opinions can be an important part of cancer care and why patients should never feel guilty for asking.

Sometimes, burnout doesn’t look like falling apart.

It can look like getting through the day, answering messages, showing up to appointments, and telling everyone you’re okay, while quietly feeling like you have nothing left to give.

After months or years of scans, treatments, waiting for results, managing symptoms, and carrying uncertainty, emotional exhaustion can build in ways that are difficult to explain.

You might not feel sad exactly. You might just feel tired of having to feel, think, worry, and stay strong all the time.

And that doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful when things go well. It doesn’t mean you’re giving up. It may simply mean you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

If this feels familiar, you don’t have to minimize it. Your emotional exhaustion deserves care, too. ❤️

Save this for the days when you need the reminder, and share it with someone who may be quietly carrying more than they show.
