In this extra-long, extra personal episode, Heather talks to Rikki Rockett, drummer in the band Poison, on the day he was at Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health for a scan that would tell him whether or not his experimental immunotherapy had worked — in other words, whether or not his oral cancer was gone.

Also features Sandip Patel, MD, oncologist at Moores Cancer Center.
