Mental Health During & After Cancer Treatment | Dr. Pooja Khullar Podcast
EPISODE #8 | Dr. Pooja Khullar
This podcast series breaks those barriers by exploring both the medical and emotional sides of cancer. With insights from oncologists, oncopsychologists, psychologists, survivors, and caregivers, we:
- Raise awareness about early detection and different treatment options — surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and emerging therapies.
Challenge stigma and myths that prevent timely action. - Support mental health before, during, and after treatment, addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and caregiver stress.
- Build resilience through coping strategies, survivor stories, and expert guidance.
- By blending medical expertise with psychological support, this series fosters a culture of awareness, empathy, and hope — ensuring cancer care is about dignity and wellbeing, not just survival.
🤝 Are you an oncologist or psychologist passionate about making a difference? We invite you to collaborate with us through our podcast to generate awareness and support cancer patients and caregivers. Please contact us to join this mission.
