A Dad’s Journey Through His Daughters Breast Cancer Journey with Bob Furniss

from Tenacity with Sonia C. · host Sonia Couto

What does it mean to be a parent when your child is fighting for her life? For Bob Furniss, the answer was to stand beside his daughter Keisha, as her advocate, her cheerleader, and eventually, the keeper of her legacy.In this profoundly emotional conversation, Bob shares his journey as the father of a young woman diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer at just 30 years old. He opens up about the moment everything stopped, what it means to advocate for a loved one in the doctor’s office, and the heartbreaking reality of watching his daughter fight for four years before passing away at 34.But Bob didn’t stop at grief. He and his family founded Keisha Warrior Princess Foundation to spread awareness, empower young women to do self-exams, and prevent others from missing the early signs. He also wrote On to Blue, a memoir of love, resilience, and lessons learned from Keisha’s warrior spirit.This episode is a rare and powerful look at breast cancer through the eyes of a parent. It’s about loss, hope, and the courage to turn pain into purpose.🎧 Listen now to hear Bob’s story, and the question he believes every dad should ask his daughter.Website: https://www.soniacouto.com/PodcastIG Channel: https://www.instagram.com/tenacitywithsoniac/ IG Host: https://www.instagram.com/techiesoniac TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@techiesoniac YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TenacitywithSoniaC LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/soniacouto/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555526145296Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
