About 15,000 children and teens are diagnosed with cancer every year in the United States. While survival rates have improved dramatically, cancer remains the leading cause of disease-related death among children.
This time on Code WACK!, we’re revisiting a powerful 2024 episode in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September.
Imagine finding out that your baby girl has a brain tumor that’s causing seizures and disrupting her development, and your insurance company is denying treatment her doctor says she needs to survive and thrive? Where did one mother turn for help when repeated health insurance denials delayed time-sensitive treatment to shrink her baby’s tumor? To find out, we spoke to Dr. Eunice Stallman, a psychiatrist in Idaho and mother of Zoey, who was two years old at the time of this interview and is still undergoing medical treatment. This is the first episode in a two-part series.
