Wait, How Do You Spell That? A Rare Disease Podcast

In this episode of the podcast, we speak with Tony Laudadio, an oncology patient advocate who was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and oligodendroglioma, a type of rare brain cancer. In the years after his remission, Tony also started the Tony Foundation, a non-profit that helps to support families impacted by all types of cancers with crucial financial aid.

Topics Discussed: The importance of a support system, acute diagnoses and financial burden, and more!
