Episode 1- show notes:
Welcome to the very first episode of Combating Cancer. I'm your host, Gwen Kelly, and on this episode, you will hear the unfiltered story of how my life changed forever at 19 years old. One moment I was a college tennis player living my dreams in New York, and in the blink of an eye I was waking up from a seizure with a stage four brain cancer diagnosis.
In this vulnerable episode, I walk you through the events that led to my diagnosis, the emotional and physical battles I faced, and how I chose to fight back; not just for myself, but for others who feel lost, isolated, or silenced by cancer.
Discussed in this episode:
The unexpected seizure that started it all
Getting diagnosed, how does one proceed?
The emotional toll of treatment, from radiation to chemotherapy
Losing my hair and my confidence
Why I resisted sharing my story, and what finally changed my mind
The birth of this podcast, and the bigger mission behind Combating Cancer
