Quarterbacking Cancer
The truth is, cancer care is confusing, overwhelming, and often broken. Patients and families are left to navigate a system full of gaps, unanswered questions, and tough choices.
After stepping into the “quarterback” role for a dear friend’s cancer journey, coordinating doctors, protocols, natural therapies, emotional support, and even microdosing through chemo, we discovered the plays that truly made a difference.
Now, we’re sharing the playbook with you.
Each episode of Quarterbacking Cancer brings you expert insights, real-life strategies, and heartfelt conversations to help you face cancer with clarity, confidence, and hope. From integrative medicine to emotional resilience, you’ll get the tools and support you need to call the right plays for your unique journey.
Because no one should have to fight cancer uninformed and with the right game plan, you’re not alone.

Ep. 11, Season 1: The Diagnosis No One Prepares You For | Amber’s Story, Part 1
In this episode of Quarterbacking Cancer, Dr. Tracey Stroup introduces a story that shaped the very foundation of this work.
Amber Keith was doing “everything right.”
Clean food. Holistic living. A devoted mother, wife, caregiver, and believer.
And then came the diagnosis—one no one prepares you for.
In Part 1 of Amber’s 3-part journey, we walk through the moment everything changed:
- The shock of discovering a lump
- The fear-driven medical system that offered answers before questions
- The confusion, overwhelm, and lack of guidance so many patients experience
- And the emotional, spiritual, and physical weight that cancer places on a family
This episode isn’t about protocols or treatment plans—yet.
It’s about the human moment before the plan exists.
Dr. Tracey shares a personal introduction, why Amber’s story became the catalyst for Quarterbacking Cancer, and why this podcast exists—not just to inform, but to equip.
Because cancer care shouldn’t feel like chaos.
And patients deserve more than fear-based decisions.
This is where Amber’s story begins.
And where hope starts to take shape.
