Welcome to another episode of Cancer: The Gift That Keeps Giving, where we share the raw, real, and inspiring journeys of those who face cancer every single day—patients, survivors, and the healthcare heroes who walk beside them.

Today, we’re honored to be joined by Dr. Kevin Brigle, a PhD-prepared Adult Nurse Practitioner who has dedicated his career to oncology care. With years of clinical experience, research expertise, and a compassionate heart, Kevin offers a rare and powerful perspective into what it means to care for cancer patients—not just treat them.

In this conversation, Kevin shares what brought him into this deeply personal and challenging field, the emotional realities of working with patients in all stages of their cancer journey, and the lessons he’s learned from those who inspire him every day.

This episode is a powerful reminder of the humanity in medicine, the impact of connection, and the incredible role that nurse practitioners play in the lives of patients and families.

Let’s dive into the conversation with Dr. Kevin Brigle.
