Join me for a lively, funny and heartfelt conversation with Dr. Anita Groves McAllister, PharmD. 

Dr. Groves McAllister practiced traditional pharmacy for 13 years and has been a Healthcare consultant for the past 21 years. Her background is in pharmacy oncology with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer. Ironically her thesis was on doxorubicin better known as the “red devil”. She is well versed in the pharmaceutical world but realized that lots of life puzzle pieces didn’t fit the same after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

Dr. Groves McAllister talks about the love of her life being diagnosed with lung cancer, caregiving, support system and how she managed to pick up the pieces along the way.

Thank you, Anita, for the opportunity to listen, learn and laugh with you. You are the best and this is one of my favorite podcasts yet.
