Surrendering to the Healthcare System and Trying to Survive Cancer

On what was supposed to be Gavin's last day of his cancer treatment, everything changed in an instant. In this episode of I Saved You. Now, Do the Dishes, I share the story of an unexpected and frightening detour — a rush to the ER that none of us saw coming. This episode dives into the emotional whiplash of caregiving: the mental load, the constant uncertainty, and how quickly a “normal” day can unravel. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s another reminder that caregivers are constantly navigating the line between hope and emergency. If you’ve ever felt like the ground shifted beneath you in an instant, this one’s for you.
