What Great Nurses Know About Cancer, with Jessica MacIntyre

Dr. Jessica MacIntyre is my guest on episode 91 of the Man Up to Cancer Podcast.

Jessica serves as Assistant Vice President of Advanced Practice Providers and the Institute Co-Director for Clinical Operations at the University of Miami's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.

From humble roots in Miami, Jessica started her career as an oncology nurse, and over the past 20+ years worked her way up to becoming a leading national voice in advanced nursing practice and innovative programs for cancer survivors.

On today's episode, we talk about:

  • What drives her on a daily basis
  • How patients have changed her over the years
  • What nurses see that other providers might miss
  • What patients need that they still aren't getting

And of course, Jessica must face the Gauntlet of Random Questions, where we both agree on the actress who should play her in the movie about her life! I guessed correctly btw.

About the Podcast

Man Up to Cancer
The show built for men facing cancer, and the people who love us!
I'm your host, Trevor Maxwell. I'm a stage IV colon cancer survivor, and I've got a message for other men: You don't have to go through cancer alone.

On the Man Up to Cancer podcast, you can expect raw, unfiltered conversations about men, cancer, and our experiences. My guests will be other patients, survivors, advocates, health experts, and friends from #cancerland.

We'll tackle a wide range of topics including cancer screenings, chemo, friendship, scars, sex and intimacy, grief, and the physical suck-fest of cancer. But .. PLOT TWIST.. we're also going to joke, laugh, and have fun.
