Beating Cancer from the Middle

from Entertain Me! with Heather Brooker Hosted by Heather Brooker

This week, we're taking a little departure from our typical entertainment news to talk about National Blood Cancer Awareness Month. Millions of Americans are part of the Sandwich Generation, people who are raising children while also caring for aging parents. For KFI's Heather Brooker, that role became deeply personal when her mother, Barbara, faced lymphoma not once, but twice. For National Blood Cancer Awareness Month, Heather shares her family’s story of cancer survival, resilience, and the everyday challenges of balancing life in the middle. With insights from a City of Hope lymphoma specialist Dr. Tycel Phillips and author/Sandwich Generation expert Christy Byrne Yates, this conversation sheds light on the stress, strength, and hope that define the Sandwich Generation.
