{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"When Chemo is the New Black","slug":"calicante","podcastDescription":"What to do when you have a serious or recurrent cancer and chemo is the new black? This podcast is all about ways of dealing with recurrent cancer, managing treatment side effects, improving quality of life, finding hope and meaning, and hopefully, healing. \n\nThe presenter is an Australian psychologist living in France with four year’s experience of dealing with recurrent ovarian cancer, although the topics relate to many types of cancer, as the episodes deal with questions that have come up for the presenter and also for so many others in the support groups and forums, as common themes for people dealing with cancer.\n\nThis channel is an opportunity to learn from others’ experiences, and the podcast episodes are informed by psychological and other research on what helps people facing the various situations that come up when living with cancer.\n\nThe episodes include practical therapy exercises that are commonly used in psychology therapy intervention, and also, hopefully, a few laughs!","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/19892783/LOGO2_copy9bb2k.jpeg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/19892783/LOGO2_copy9bb2k_1200x628.jpg?s=bd162e4d885a8c75e5e0f51c3d6c63fc&e=jpeg","podcastUrl":"https://calicante.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/calicante/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-xsm3n-12f8a2f?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":33,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+01:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":1,"text":"(GMT+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"Europe/Brussels"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":32,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"calicante","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-xsm3n-12f8a2f-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/when-chemo-is-the-new-black/id1783970759?l=en-GB","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-xsm3n-12f8a2f?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/0P358C7QXwqF0YgCawUxsr","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a97af373-9dee-4f54-a8bf-c9e222946639","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Geometric Humanist"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

It is very normal to wonder if treatment is working, and sometimes it can be hard to tell.

This episode looks at signs that chemotherapy is working, and how to tell in the unlikely situation that is might not be.

We also talk briefly about how to harness the natural anxiety about treatment in such a way as to facilitate treatment hopefully working better.
