Better Living Through Cancer

from The Best We Can Do · host Brett and Royce Conner

In this episode, Brett and Royce tackle The Big C (yes, that one) with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of heart. Drawing from their own diagnoses, personal history, and years spent living alongside cancer, the twins talk openly about the fear, the awkward conversations, and the moments no one prepares you for.They share stories of telling people the hard news, navigating wildly inappropriate medical moments, and discovering that “gallows humor” can be both a coping mechanism and a lifeline. Along the way, they uncover some surprising upsides: unexpected kindness, deep gratitude, and the strange joy of being told “you look amazing” (we forgive you).This episode does not minimize how terrifying cancer can be, but it makes space for laughter, love, and connection right alongside the fear. A reminder that there is no “right” way to go through something awful, only the way that helps you persevere and remain the best version of yourself…with a lot of help (and yes, even laughter) along the way.
