My Why: Catch-up, cancer, chemo and eyebrows with Katie Joy Duke

I wanted to have another chat with Katie after her diagnosis with breast cancer, to find out about the losses attached to a diagnosis like this, and how they differed from the loss of her daughter.Welcome to another My Why from me, Claire Sandys, co-host of The Silent Why podcast. My Why episodes are  weekly audio shorts of my latest blog post, but this one is a bit different as I'm using this episode to catch-up with a previous Silent Why guest who has been through extra losses since we met her in early 2022.Chris and I interviewed Katie Joy Duke in Episode 25 of the podcast (Loss 18: Loss of a full term baby), where Katie shared her story about the death of her daughter Poppy on the day she was due to give birth. Sadly, four days before we released her episode Katie was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. So I wanted to catch up with her to find out how this experience compared to previous losses she'd faced in the past.Join me and Katie as we chat cancer, chemo, Uncle Fester, false eyebrows, staying healthy, sharing this kind of information with others, physical losses versus bereavements, and much more.For more about Katie and her book, 'Still Breathing' visit:https://www.katiejoyduke.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show-----thesilentwhy.com  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  |  Twitter  |  LinkedIn What's a Herman? / Buy a Herman - thehermancompany.comSupport the show: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhySign-up to my mailing list (only used for sharing news occasionally!): thesilentwhy.com/newsletterHow to talk to the grieving:  thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrievingReview the show: Apple Podcasts  |  Spotify  |  GoodpodsEpisode transcripts: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.comThank you for listening.
