  • Stories of Hope and Resilience After a Cancer Diagnosis
    Mar 5 2026

    What does it mean to truly "add life to your days" when facing a life-changing cancer diagnosis?


    Welcome to Seize the Days

    In this debut trailer, hosts Cathy Becker—a scientist and storyteller—and Dr. Evan Lipson—an oncologist and researcher—introduce a library of powerful, life-affirming stories. While medical professionals often focus on the science of treatment, patients and their loved ones are often focused on something even more vital: how to find meaning, joy, and purpose in every moment they are given.


    What You’ll Hear in This Podcast:


    • The Inspiration Behind the Show: Dr. Lipson shares how years of hearing "inspiring tales" in the exam room led him to start recording these "masterclasses in determination and grit".


    • Voices of Resilience: Hear briefly from survivors and patients like Bill, who found power in movement, and Annie, who discovered entirely new ways to change her life for the better.


    • The Power of Community: Reflections on how the cancer journey can lead to a stronger collective voice and a greater sense of impact.


    • Finding Presence: A discussion on what it actually looks like to live each day as if it were your last and the richness that comes with that gratitude.


    Whether you are a patient, a caregiver, or someone who simply needs a bit more inspiration, these stories offer a window into what it means to Seize the Days we are given.
