While living with my family in Canada, my annual physical in 2015 saved my life. This routine physical ended up leading to additional mammogram imaging, ultrasounds and multiple biopsies. In the beginning, I was told not to worry - possibly pre-cancer. Ha! Did they just say cancer?! I don't know about you, but if someone uses the word cancer to share health news with me, all I hear is cancer and then cue the Charlie Brown school teacher . . .
Many people that have had cancer rarely talk about the diagnosis process, the emotions that come with the unknown, and how it affects the loved ones around them. I actually googled cancer diagnosis stories, and the results were sparse.
Not only was it painful for me but for my family as well, which is why I have a special guest on this episode. My husband, Greg will share his version of the story and how cancer rocked his world as well. I want this episode to not only be for people who have had cancer, but for the family members and friends as well. Cancer is NOT a disease of one . . . it is a family disease.
