Life on Pause

Penn State Health

Life On Pause is a podcast for and by young adults living with cancer. Each month, young adult cancer patients from Penn State Health share honestly about their cancer diagnosis, treatment and life afterwards. As cancer causes the group to reflect on issues both large and small, surprisingly relatable stories and themes emerge. From relationships to body functions, nothing is off the table.Produced by Q'd Up, a podcast and video production company in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. qd-up.com
