Show Notes

Nichole checks in with Dr. Toni Choueiri, the director of the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, about a new study focused on cancer screenings. Many stayed home instead of getting their recommended screenings in the early months of the pandemic. What does that mean for the fight against cancer now? C.R. Lyons, President of the Massachusetts Funeral Directors Association, talks about life in the funeral industry during the pandemic, and the Association's push to get priority access for a vaccine. Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn explains his recent call for a City Council hearing to find ways for the city to be more proactive in its fight against HIV and AIDS.
