Permission Not to Worry

Cancer does not only impact the person going through the illness. It becomes a family affair. In this episode I am honored to introduce you to my son, Niko.

I wanted to protect my children from my diagnosis. I was worried about how they would worry about me. I was also worried about how they would feel and any fears that may come up. But I never had really asked them how the experience was until now.

In this episode, I asked Niko to share how it was like to have his mom be diagnosed with breast cancer and then see her go through treatment. Some of his responses really surprised me!

He candidly shared when it became a reality for him, the hardest moments and the direct impact that having a close family member with cancer had on his life. He also shared how he had trust that things would be OK and how he arrived to this trust.
