osTEAo: Paws and Reflect: How Pets Help Us Heal

In the latest episode ofosTEAo: Spilling the Tea on Osteosarcoma and AYA Cancer, young adult osteosarcoma survivors Mia, Sammy, Sloan, and Mackenzie share how their pets became their greatest sources of comfort, laughter, and unwavering support during treatment and recovery.From Sloan’s dog Sam instinctively wrapping around their leg post-surgery to Mackenzie’s pup carefully avoiding pressure on her biopsy site, these furry friends always seemed to know when their humans needed extra love. Mia recalls how her cat Enzo made a dramatic mess the moment she returned from the hospital—because, of course, he needed to remind her who was boss! And Sammy’s pet was her rock through every twist and turn, proving that while so much changes during cancer treatment, the love of a pet remains constant.Tune in for heartfelt stories, funny pet antics, and a celebration of the incredible healing power of animals. Because sometimes, the best medicine has four legs and a wagging tail. 🎧🐶🐱Thank you to the Moore Family for their generous support of our osTEAo podcast and creating a space for young adults experiencing cancer to share, relate, and heal together.✨ Listen now and tell us—how has your pet helped you through tough times? #osTEAoPodcast #PawsAndReflect #AYAwithCancer #OsteosarcomaThank you to the Moore Family for their generous support of our osTEAo podcast and creating a space for young adults experiencing cancer to share, relate, and heal together.
