Interview With 15 yr. Cancer Survivor and Passionate Advocate Candace Henley

Candace first appeared on the podcast back in 2015. You can listen to that interview here.

Much has changed in Candace's life since then. During our conversation we discussed:

• How her life has changed 15 years since her original diagnosis.
• The alarming number of questions she is asked during her advocacy work that reflect many people's lack of knowledge about their own bodies.
• The advocacy work she is doing, along with Dr. Andrew Albert, in the Chicago area.
• The growth of her non-profit, The Blue Hat Foundation.
• The reason why many people of color are distrustful of the medical community.
