In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jessica Metcalfe, she is a general dentist by trade but ended up specializing in working with cancer patients.
Jessica kept wishing away the next 25 to 30 years, thinking she has to get through the dental profession and make it to retirement but working at the cancer center showed her that not everyone makes it to retirement and we need to live life today.
We talk about her work with patients and how when you go through cancer treatments it may affect your teeth and gums, depending on what type of treatments you have.
The after-treatment care can and should involve a variety of different types of doctors so you have the best possible outcome.
A lot of our conversation focuses on the role of community in our life and our death.
There are new ways that people are creating community and connection, it is not only about the “traditional” family unit.
Having conversations with a lot of people with different beliefs is also very important to our growth as human beings.
Developing relationships with other people can lead us to feel very vulnerable but it is important to do this if we want a deep connection.
Jessica does work with individuals on asking those hard questions, being vulnerable with yourself, and it's how you go about changing that inner voice.
