At 59, Tricia Totten is a wife of 30 years, mother of two wonderful adults, fitness enthusiast, and a breast cancer survivor who shares her life experience in an effort to help others navigate a cancer diagnosis and other life setbacks.
In this episode, Tricia and I share how cancer has impacted our lives in different capacities. With her seven years cancer-free and my dad passing from liver cancer eleven years ago, this conversation intends to represent both sides of those affected by cancer and offer support for loved ones going through a difficult time.
