Diagnosis Day Part 2...

Diagnosis Day… In this episode, Diagnosis Day Part 2, Karlee carries on talking about her partnership with her surgeon. Angie shares her experience in hospital and conversations with a patient next door. Angie talks about not wanting to know statistics or becoming a statistic. She is Angie after all. Karlee then talks about the lady she first met in the breast clinic and both discuss how they are the 1 in 3. But they still are in shock. Karlee mentions the Cancer Duty. Raising money before diagnosis and more so as her Aunt died of colon cancer at 38. They discuss raising money and volunteering and what it is like to crossover to the other side. Karlee explains peak cancer periods and how some times she is busy with several appointments and then she gets a break and hops back on the spinning wheel. Angie defines it as living with a chronic diseases and Karlee is thinking of the Dr. Dre Album, ‘The Chronic’. Yet again trying to find the humour or love of music to cope. Angie is a performer and the girls discuss their love of the arts. They have a proper chuckle about Angie in the bell choir. Angie is colouring in her Colouring Through Cancer book as they record this podcast. Karlee wishes she could colour in a lovely picture and it would all disappear. Aside from Angie, of course.
