The truth is, cancer care is confusing, overwhelming, and often broken. Patients and families are left to navigate a system full of gaps, unanswered questions, and tough choices.

After stepping into the “quarterback” role for a dear friend’s cancer journey—coordinating doctors, protocols, natural therapies, emotional support, and even microdosing through chemo—we discovered the plays that truly made a difference.

Now, we’re sharing the playbook with you.

Each episode of Quarterbacking Cancer brings you expert insights, real-life strategies, and heartfelt conversations to help you face cancer with clarity, confidence, and hope. From integrative medicine to emotional resilience, you’ll get the tools and support you need to call the right plays for your unique journey.

Because no one should have to fight cancer uninformed—and with the right game plan, you’re not alone.

In this kickoff episode, Dr. Tracey get's interviewed her about the moment Quarterbacking Cancer was born and why changing the cancer culture matters. Tracey shares the story of guiding a close friend from a confusing DCIS diagnosis through a maze of rushed decisions, missing details, and conflicting advice—and how faith, discernment, and an integrative game plan changed everything.

You’ll learn:

• Why cancer care is urgent but not always an emergency—and why you do have time
• The first three plays to call after a diagnosis (pray, get a second opinion, go where they see more cases)
• The gaps nobody talks about: communication, nutrition, testing, and insurance pitfalls
• What an integrative plan can include without the “pick a side” pressure
• The role of mindset, community, and the Holy Spirit when fear tries to take over

If you need hope, a plan, and a team—you’re in the right huddle.
