The Cancer Liberation Project

In this episode of The Cancer Liberation Project, Hayley sits down with Kevin Donaghy, who joins her from Scotland to share his remarkable journey with stage IV metastatic melanoma. After initially being told his stage II melanoma had been successfully treated, Kevin received the devastating news 18 months later that the cancer had spread to his lung and spine. Diagnosed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he faced not only a life-threatening illness but also the isolation and uncertainty that came with lockdowns and cancer treatment.Kevin opens up about the emotional impact of his diagnosis, his experience with immunotherapy, and the unexpected hope he found through an online melanoma support group. Surrounded by others facing similar challenges, he discovered the power of shared stories and meaningful connection—something that became a vital part of his healing journey.Inspired by the hope he gained from others, Kevin went on to create Stories of Cancer and Hope, a collection of personal stories from cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and loved ones around the world. The book has touched thousands of lives, helping readers feel less alone in their own cancer journeys. Today, all royalties from the book are donated to Maggie’s, a UK-based cancer support charity that provides free emotional, practical, and social support to people affected by cancer.For more information, go to storiesofcancerandhope.co.ukThe Cancer Liberation Project is sponsored by thekarlfeldtcenter.com

Janet is a Doctor of Osteopathy and Doctor of Natural Medicine who specializes in integrative oncology and metabolic health. She's the founder of Nurture and Restore Wellness, where she helps patients understand the deeper terrain of their health, the systems and patterns that influence cancer growth and healing.Her work brings together science, compassion, and personalized care. Janet uses data-driven functional testing, targeted nutrition, and metabolic therapies to help people restore balance, strengthen immunity, and support the body's innate ability to heal.Her approach combines scientific precision with compassionate care, empowering patients to restore balance, strengthen immunity, and optimize outcomes at every stage of cancer care.In this episode of The Cancer Liberation Project, Dr. Janet shares her unexpected journey into integrative oncology. Initially hesitant to work with cancer patients, she eventually recognized the deep need for a more compassionate, whole-person approach. Dr. Janet explains how cancer is often misunderstood as purely a genetic mishap, when in reality it's profoundly influenced by metabolism, environment, and lifestyle. She emphasizes that patients don’t have to choose between conventional and integrative care—true healing happens when disciplines collaborate and the patient is seen as a whole human, not just a tumor.Dr. Janet details how her approach differs from a traditional oncologist: instead of focusing solely on shrinking tumors, she digs into the “terrain”—the stressors, exposures, life patterns, and imbalances that allowed cancer to develop. Using the “test, assess, address” methodology, she relies on comprehensive labs, trends over time, and continuous adjustments rather than rigid protocols. Foundational elements such as nutrition, sleep, stress reduction, movement, and emotional healing are at the core of her work. She stresses that advanced therapies like IV vitamin C, mistletoe, and fasting around chemotherapy are valuable, but they only work when the “container”—the person’s overall terrain—is strong. Emotional and spiritual health, she adds, can be the missing link even when lab results look good.She also shares insight into her work with Immunocene, a leading-edge dendritic cell immunotherapy program in Mexico, where personalized treatments are created from a patient’s own immune cells and tumor tissue. Dr. Janet supports the program through metabolic oncology guidance, data interpretation, and terrain-based strategies. Her final message to patients is one of empowerment: don’t lose hope, build a supportive team, and focus on what you can control. Healing is not linear, but with curiosity, collaboration, and foundational care, patients can regain clarity, confidence, and agency in their cancer journey.To reach Dr. Janet, go to janet@nurturerestore.comThe Cancer Liberation Project is sponsored by thekarlfeldtcenter.com
