When you face a cancer diagnosis, what should you do? We talk through everything in this episodeAdded:
The universal challenges of a cancer diagnosis are loss of hope, loss of control, and unwanted aloneness. And it's not just for the person going through it, it's also their family members. And even if you have a huge support network, it can still feel very isolating. And I think people don't realize that. And so when they call us and we're like, "No, this is normal.
This is why we have a community." I think that sigh of relief is really like, "Okay, it's okay that I'm feeling this way." And you don't always have to be strong.
>> Right. Right. Right. Right. You can be vulnerable and you can you can ask you can tell someone I'm not feeling that well right now, you know? I I And sometimes people don't really even know how to define it. They just know that I just don't feel like myself.
>> Mhm.
