Man Up to Cancer's Trevor Maxwell on Building Communities and Empowering Patients

Episode Description

A cancer diagnosis is one of the most challenging experiences a person can have. As well as the physical consequences of serious illness, people can find themselves feeling isolated as they struggle with fear and uncertainty about what lies ahead.

By founding Man Up to Cancer, Trevor Maxwell is giving people the confidence and community they need to confront diagnosis, treatment, and the day-to-day reality of living with the disease. He joins Medidata's Chief Patient Officer Alicia Staley to share his experience with colon cancer, and his amazing journey to become a patient advocate.

They explore the problems of toxic positivity and lack of motivation, the relationship between clinical research and cancer communities, and how to use your skills and knowledge to make a positive difference for yourself and those around you.
