Let’s Talk About The C Word – Leanne Pero’s Story

Cancer is complex. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment or how we should talk about it. Leanne Pero’s film is part of our #CWordSeries, showcasing the diverse and real experiences of people living with cancer to explore the complexities of the C Word – cancer.

Watch as advocate, entrepreneur, ex-dance teacher, speaker, and author Leanne Pero shares her story—and inspires to change the way we speak to and about people living with cancer.

How the world talks about cancer can be challenging both for those going through it and their loved ones. At Novartis, we want to change the cancer conversation—because it isn’t as simple as death or cure, and just as there are many different forms of cancer, everyone lives with it differently.

We believe we need to normalize conversations around cancer and explore ways to talk about it openly and honestly. Just as cancer does not define a person, cancer is not the only story Leanne has to tell.
