Finding Your Fire - Samantha

Have you ever faced your own mortality? As a military spouse we are often faced with the fact that something may happen to our partner when they are deployed or even in training. However, when was the last time you looked at yourself in the mirror and realized that something could happen to you? That is exactly what happened with Samantha when she received her cancer diagnosis. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and this episode is amazing. Samantha explains how this diagnosis went missed for so long, even with her background as a Physicians Assistant (PA). We don't spend the entire episode discussing her cancer and its treatment. We also discuss how this has helped her want to be more involved in Patient Advocacy and the importance of knowing when to fight for the medical treatment you deserve.
