Ep. 33: New Love, New Diagnosis, New Journey with Chad Andrus

When you're "young and healthy," a cancer diagnosis is often a massive shock, and it presents its own unique benefits and challenges as we go through it. I'm excited to share with you this conversation with Chad Andrus, a sports broadcaster who was diagnosed with lymphoma just 2 months after getting married as a young adult and is now 12 years in remission. He shares with us the story of his cancer journey, his biggest lessons, struggles, and reliefs during and after it, and what it was like for him and his wife to experience this journey together at such a young age.   We're diving into: What Chad considers the worst part of his cancer journey, and when he felt relief and like the weight had been lifted from him shortly afterwards Experiencing things like ports and biopsies with no prior experience with surgeries or other medical procedures The surprises Chad found during chemo (like who knew pee could be THAT color?!) How his physical struggles varied from his mental struggles during treatment The unique view we have as cancer survivors going through the time of COVID-19 How and why Chad continued to work during treatment The biggest lessons he learned during his journey, and the 2 things Chad would put more focus on if he could do it again Family planning when you are going through cancer at a young age And so much more!   Connect with Chad: https://twitter.com/chadandrus   Join my free Facebook group, Surviving is JUST the Beginning, for positive support on those not so positive days: https://www.facebook.com/groups/458305884640858/
