    What happens when your child is told there is no standard treatment available?
    In this powerful episode of the Game Over: c*ncer Podcast, Sarah Asma, Executive Director of the Big Nova Foundation, shares the deeply personal story that transformed her family's life forever after her two-year-old niece was diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric leukemia.

    Forced to travel across the country because no hospital nearby had experience treating her niece's specific cancer, Sarah witnessed firsthand the urgent need for more pediatric cancer research, better treatment options, and greater support for families navigating childhood cancer.

    Today, through the Big Nova Foundation, her family invests in innovative nonprofit organizations, groundbreaking research, and community initiatives that strengthen lives across Central Florida and beyond.

    Hosts Dana Nichols and Val Solomon explore the realities of pediatric cancer research funding, healthcare inequities, childhood cancer survivorship, long-term treatment side effects, and why philanthropy is about empowering organizations, not controlling them.

  • 57. Quality of Life in Pediatric Cancer Care

    57. Quality of Life in Pediatric Cancer Care
    Aug 18 2026
    When most people hear palliative care, they think it means the end.

    But what if we've misunderstood it all along?

    In this episode of Game Over: c*ncer, hosts Dana Nichols and Val Solomon sit down with Dr. Justin Baker, pediatric oncologist and Division Chief, Quality of Life and Pediatric Palliative Care at Stanford University School of Medicine, to discuss how quality of life considerations should begin at the moment a child is diagnosed, not only when treatment options run out.


    Dr. Baker shares why pediatric palliative care is transforming childhood cancer treatment by helping children experience less suffering, better symptom management, stronger family support, and more meaningful moments throughout treatment.

    You'll also hear one of the most powerful conversations we've had about grief, human connection, compassion, and what every one of us can do to better support families facing pediatric cancer.

    If you've ever wondered what to say to a grieving parent, how to support someone whose child has cancer, or why quality of life deserves just as much attention as survival, this episode is for you.

    Could one small action change someone's life?

    Cancer survivor, bestselling author, and entrepreneur Emily McDowell joins Game Over: c*ncer to share how one simple greeting card idea grew into a movement that transformed the greeting card industry, and why empathy and imperfect action matter more than perfection.

    After surviving cancer at just 24 years old, Emily discovered how uncomfortable our culture is with difficult conversations.

    In this powerful conversation with co-hosts Dana Nichols and Val Solomon, Emily shares lessons on entrepreneurship, creativity, purpose, burnout, cancer survivorship, and why waiting until you have everything figured out is often what keeps meaningful work from happening.
