Erin Sullivan Wagner Cancer Survivor & Patient Advocate

Erin Sullivan Wagner is an anal cancer survivor. As a result of her radiation treatment, she experienced sexual health side effects that went untreated for several months. Because there was no process in place to address sexual health concerns or refer patients timely, the damage caused by radiation became permanent. Her relationship with her husband was forever changed. She began a life coaching business, helping patients with intimacy challenges post cancer. She also started the non-profit organization, After Cancer, Inc, providing educational resources for oncology professionals on addressing sexual health in a cancer care setting, with a mission that all patients impacted by cancer will be screened for sexual health side effects as a standard of care.

Childs holds a Culinary Certificate from Rouxbe Cooking School and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of South Florida. Post cancer she opened Plant Joy, a vegan meal prep service in Southeast Wisconsin, where she is the head chef and a plant based cooking instructor.
