In this heartfelt episode of Navigating Cancer TOGETHER, Talaya Dendy had the privilege of speaking with the remarkable Dr. Sophia Edwards-Bennett, MD Ph.D., a board-certified radiation oncologist with an impressive background from institutions like Harvard's Cancer Therapeutics and Research Program, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Cornell Medical College. Dr. EB. is not only a multiple award-winning radiation oncologist but also a cancer ambassador, best-selling author, dynamic international speaker, podcaster, YouTuber, and advocate for a holistic approach to cancer treatment.

In this made-for-movie episode, Nadean Stone reads excerpts from her memoir No Stone Unturned: A Remarkable Journey to Identity. Nadean was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1981, at a time when very little information and resources were available. However, that is not where Nadean's story begins. Six days after her birth, her mother gave her up for adoption, which led to a 44-year search for her birth mother utilizing DNA technology and innovative detective skills. Her search challenged the laws in Ontario regarding non-adoptees access to their birth records. In July 2018, Nadean filed a petition with the UN Commission on the Rights of the Child illuminating numerous Articles of the UN Convention that the Province of Ontario has violated in its treatment of illegally adopted children. She is currently exploring the transformation of her memoir into a television series. ✨Highlights from the show: [00:02:25] Ovarian cancer diagnosis. [00:06:07] Difficult decision for more children.
