Carol Thompson AKA Mom - Finding Ourselves and What Matters Through a Shared Cancer Experience

Send us a text

In what can become the normal chaos of adult life, few things cut through the noise like receiving a cancer diagnosis. There's not many families that haven't been touched by cancer or life-threatening disease of some sort, and my family is no exception. My mom and I both were diagnosed with cancer within the same week in September of last year. In this discussion, we explore how that cancer experience has changed us in some fundamental ways. And we look at a poem about cancer's limitations - it's a poem that has offered us some inspiration for how we want to be present in the cancer experience and in our lives more generally. Mom discusses the large role that faith and community have played in lifting her up through this experience. What better way to bring a podcast to life than with the person that brought me to life?
