Cancer Care Beyond Treatment with Dr. Abida Taher & Dr. Robin Lesser

Transforming Cancer Care Beyond Treatment with UnCancer 🌟

Cancer treatment extends far beyond medical procedures—it affects every aspect of a patient's daily life. This week on the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast, Dr. Kerry Reller welcomes Dr. Abida Taher and Dr. Robin Lesser, the co-founders of UnCancer, to discuss their mission to improve cancer care through innovative oral health solutions, comfort wear, and patient advocacy.

Key Takeaways:

🔹 The Gap in Cancer Support: While cancer patients receive excellent medical care during treatment, many struggle with side effects at home, particularly in oral health, nutrition, and comfort.

🔹 Oral Health & Cancer Treatment: Chemotherapy and radiation can cause dry mouth, tooth sensitivity, and oral ulcers, making it difficult to eat, drink, or even speak. UnCancer provides science-backed oral care products designed to ease these symptoms.

🔹 Comfort Wear for Cancer Patients: UnCancer’s upcoming bamboo-based chemotherapy wear offers port-access zippers and scalp-friendly headwear, ensuring both function and dignity during treatment.

🔹 Bridging the Gap Between Oncology & Dentistry: Dr. Lesser emphasizes the need for better communication between oncologists and dentists, helping cancer patients manage their dental health before, during, and after treatment.

🔹 A Patient-Centered Approach: UnCancer is creating checklists, toolkits, and retail solutions to simplify cancer care and reduce the burden on patients and caregivers.

Conclusion:

Cancer care doesn’t stop at medical treatments—it extends into daily life. Dr. Abida Taher & Dr. Robin Lesser are on a mission to make this journey easier, more comfortable, and better supported through UnCancer.
