What if lifesaving cancer screenings could come directly to the people who need them most? In this episode, David and Hajar introduce us to EDDY — a mobile cancer screening unit bringing early detection to communities across Western New York. They talk about why lung cancer screening is so important, the stigma that still surrounds the disease, and how meeting people where they are can make all the difference. It’s an inspiring look at how innovation, outreach, and a big blue bus are helping make cancer care more accessible for everyone.

Cancer is often thought of as a disease of older age. But tens of thousands of people are diagnosed each year in their teens, twenties, and thirties. And for them, this diagnosis arrives right in the middle of building a life. In this episode, Hajar and David explore what it’s like to face cancer as a young adult, when careers are just beginning, relationships are still forming, and questions about family, identity, and the future are far from settled. They look at why cancer is often harder to recognize in younger patients, how diagnoses can be delayed, and the loneliness of going through cancer when no one around you can relate.
