Pods 4 Peds: Recent Episodes
Enzo & Me Pediatric Cancer Foundation
A podcast series through the Enzo & Me Pediatric Cancer Foundation, with interviews from individuals across the pediatric cancer field. Designed to bring pediatric cancer families, friends of pediatric cancer warriors, and anyone else information about research, treatment, coordinated care, emotional management, and other information on pediatric cancer.
For the (very delayed) Episode 2 of Pods for Peds, the official podcast of Enzo & Me Pediatric Cancer Foundation, we're honored to sit with Vanessa and Brandon Nemcik. Ironically the Nemcik's live just down the road from us, and their son Brody was in the ER on the same fateful night as our son. Thankfully, Brody bravely fought off his cancer, and is currently living life as a fun-loving and energetic kid! But the journey was long and difficult, and we discuss the trials and tribulations of parenting pediatric cancer superheroes through diagnosis, treatment and post-treatment life. We want to thanks Vanessa and Brandon for their time and patience on the release of this episode. Thanks for watching Episode 2 of Pods for Peds, from Enzo & Me Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
