098: Josh Tehan was a Caregiver for his son with Childhood Leukemia who overcame Cancer with Chemotherapy

from Cancer Interviews · host Bruce Morton and Jim Foster

Josh Tehan shares his story in today's Cancer Interviews podcast with host Bruce Morton about how he was a cancer patient caregiver for his son Ethan throughout his successful battle with childhood leukemia at age 4 with chemotherapy treatments for leukemia, a form of blood cancer. Nonetheless, Ethan said it was a challenge to remain strong, and for he and family members to adhere to their care schedule.  The stress would come from holding Ethan up because he couldn't stand up on his own, helping him to the bathroom or watching his hair fall out from the chemotherapy. Eventually, Ethan was told he in his remission.  Now a teenager, Ethan carries close to a 4.0 GPA and has his own sports podcast.  At 6'5", he plays basketball.  Josh says it is a relief to go back to being a parent of a healthy teenager, as he says Ethan is doing really well, mentally, physically and emotionally.  Josh says he cannot ask for anything better.
