About this listen
Here’s a thought that may seem strange; you can disagree with your doctor. Sure, they have the diplomas on the wall and you’re the one in the paper gown, but remember; the doctor works for you!
In this episode of our podcast An Unexpected Life, you’ll meet
melanoma survivor Elea Vander Burgh. As a 17 year old high school student, Elea
stubbornly stood her ground when her dermatologist brushed aside a questionable mole as nothing. Elea demanded it be removed. The result; a melanoma diagnosis that possibly saved her life.
Now a student at Baylor University, Elea shares her inspirational story with
Marianne to illustrate the challenge and power of self advocacy at
any age, the importance of shopping for a good dermatologist, and the
magic of developing a good scar story!
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
✅ Why it’s important to listen to your inner voice.
✅ The value of advocacy and saying no!
✅ The hallmarks of a gold star dermatologist.
✅ The importance of finding a medical “team” post diagnosis.
✅ Sharing your story with friends.
