Life After Cancer Treatment: What You Should Know

When someone finishes a cancer treatment, it can feel like the end of the story. For many, it may just be the beginning–risk of recurrence looms, long-term medications (and their side effects) begin, and it’s hard to get your bearings. What do you really need to know?

In this candid conversation, Katie sits down with Dr. Lillian Smyth, Senior Vice President and Global Development Head for Breast Cancer at Eli Lilly and Company, and LaShae Rolle, a breast cancer survivor, public health researcher, and powerlifter. Together, they explore what life after breast cancer treatment really looks like: from follow-up care and managing side effects to navigating fears about recurrence and finding strength in advocacy.

This episode—created in partnership with Eli Lilly—is about more than medicine. It’s about empowerment: knowing your “normal,” asking the right questions, and embracing life following cancer treatment.
