Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I interview Ambreen Maan, a dedicated cancer advocate and licensed social worker. Ambreen shares her harrowing yet inspiring journey from being a young cancer patient, initially misdiagnosed with potential malaria, to becoming a champion for the adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer community. She discusses the uniquechallenges faced by AYA cancer patients, the importance of self-advocacy, and the critical need for support tailored to the AYA demographic. Ambreen also delves into her experiences with healthcare disparities and how they influenced her shift from aspiring to be a doctor to focusing on social work and advocacy. Through her story, Ambreen highlights the significance of finding one's voice and support network during and after a cancer diagnosis.Connect with AmbreenAmerican Tumor Board Association - [email protected] Connect with Laura NozickaEmail: [email protected]: www.desperateforadiagnosis.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@desperateforadiagnosis ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @desperateforadiagnosis ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok @desperateforadiagnosis
