Kicking Cancer In The Teeth Twice: A Story Of Hope With Sarah E. McDonald

A cancer diagnosis is probably one of the most debilitating events that can happen in a person’s life. How do you pick yourself up after? Where do you find strength when it seems like the world is falling down on you? Sharing a story of hope, Sarah E. McDonald is an inspiration who not only kicked one but two cancer diagnoses in the teeth. In this episode, she joins Tina Fornwald to talk about her journey through cancer, overcoming twice the odds at the same time. With her book, The Cancer Channel, Sarah relays the many realizations she had across the events surrounding her year of cancer treatments. Sarah also touches on her father’s battle with prostate cancer, how she learned a hard lesson when a loved one is having a health issue, and going through the grieving process. Across all the pain and challenges, Sarah lets us in on her experiences to highlight the power of our stories and how we can turn them into beacons of hope and strength for others. Let this conversation inspire you to advocate for yourself and show up for others. Thank you for viewing this post.
