S3E51: Lara MacGregor of A Hopeful Life and Hope Scarves {update on Stage 4 breast cancer}

Lara has stage 4 breast cancer and her health continues to decline. When we originally recorded this interview in late 2019, she was stable but knew what is happening right now- cancer progression, treatments, clinical trials, more progression- would unfold someday.  No ads or "buy XYZ" today. I'm asking outright that you join me supporting Hope Scarves while Lara, a Sister in Christ, is with us on this side of Glory and can feel your love and support. https://hopescarves.org If you want to go straight to her podcast and skip this one, I'm cool with that: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-hopeful-life-with-lara-macgregor/id1496714025 Blog/video with Lara's story: myhopefullife.org Latest blog post about dying of stage 4 breast cancer: laramacgregor.com/blog/the-pea-and-the-bowling-ball The Courage to Suffer: laramacgregor.com/blog/do-i-have-the-courage-to-suffer & accompanying podcast episode https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/16-courage-to-suffer-daryl-van-tongeren-sara-showalter/id1496714025?i=1000521143859 Real talk about metastatic breast cancer: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/11-real-talk-about-metastatic-breast-cancer-beth-fairchild/id1496714025?i=1000506509117 Lara's personal story: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prologue-you-have-cancer/id1496714025?i=1000463856599 How one scarf led to movement: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prologue-turning-heartbreak-into-hope/id1496714025?i=1000463856600 Connect on IG: instagram.com/lara_macgregor/ Original full RLM episode can be found here: https://runliftmompod.com/epi51/  Time based show notesL 3:00 breast cancer diagnosis  6:00 beginning chemotherapy during pregnancy  7:30 the best gift ever  10:00 how the pregnancy both revealed the cancer & saved Lara’s life  13:00 passing the scarves on to another woman facing cancer  14:00 on hair and the role of a scarf in treatment  17:00 strength in scarves as vehicles for personal stories  20:00 Hope Scarves origin story  21:00 personal request and gift scarves  23:45 what is metastatic breast cancer? 25:00 changing the message to living life over cancer Support the show: runliftmompod.com/partners aloette.com/runliftmom (use code RLM for 15% off anything!) runliftmompod.com/factor runliftmompod.com/instacart runliftmompod.com/fabletics (2 for $24 bottoms, I like Motion365!)
