As Senior Staff Specialist at Macarthur Cancer Therapy Centre and Cancer Survivorship Specialist at Evexia Living well after cancer, Dr Adams dedicates her time to helping patients to manage their symptoms and side-effects from treatment. Her approach to patients involves discussions with a patient’s team of health professionals including GPs and other specialists in an effort to ensure patients are fully supported throughout and after their active treatment. While researching information resources to recommend to her patients, Dr Adams came across Cancer Council NSW’s podcast series The Thing About Cancer. The podcast series was a new initiative by Cancer Council NSW, hosted by broadcaster and cancer survivor Julie McCrossin. Season one, launched in 2017, included ten episodes featuring interviews with health professionals and people affected by cancer covering topics as diverse as considering treatment options, coping with fatigue and explaining cancer to kids. Dr Adams began recommending the podcast episodes to her patients at Macarthur and incorporated them into her survivorship plans for patients at Evexia.
