Navigating Childhood Cancer Podcast
Welcome to the Navigating Childhood Cancer Podcast.
In this podcast, we’ll explore all aspects of living through a child’s cancer diagnosis. We’ll speak with parents, experts, caregivers, and maybe even the children themselves, to understand the issues, the risks, the struggles and triumphs. We’ll talk about how to cope, how to support your child, how to ask for (and accept) help from your family and friends, and how to handle all of the day-to-day challenges that you may face while on your child’s journey.
This is the information, and the community, I wish I had when my child was diagnosed with leukemia. My goal is to educate, to support and to inspire anyone who is living through a paediatric cancer diagnosis.

Episode 18 - My Conversation with Daniel Stolfi
In this episode, we hear the story of actor and comedian Daniel Stolfi. Daniel was diagnosed with Lymphoma when he was 25 years old. Like every cancer warrior, Daniel’s story is remarkable. He kept a journal throughout his treatment, and before his treatment was even over, he wrote and performed an award-winning one-man comedy show called Cancer Can’t Dance Like This. It was met with rave reviews! He has performed this show at venues across North America, and in the process, he has raised more than $100,000 for cancer research.
Daniel has also written a book, his memoir, called The Comedian vs. Cancer. His perspective is so fun, so unexpected and so refreshing. There is just something about being able to laugh along with Daniel to make us all feel a little better about this brutal and unbelievable situation.
