We were all scared in COVID times. Fair enough. Well, now imagine living overseas in that time, with little kids, adding a cancer diagnosis on top, with a border to your home country and family support slammed shut.

Today’s story is brought to us by Steph, a cancer legend, who lived this very reality. What we loved about Steph was her willingness to talk beyond cancer and share with us other parts of her life; what challenges she brought to cancer, and what she feared was coming after it. Cryptic statement, I know, but we don’t want to give the story away.

Like Glynn says in this episode, he sat next to Steph many times not knowing what journey she had been on. A good lesson for us all to keep in mind in our lives.

The strategies and skills discussed in all Chemotional Rollercoaster episodes are either what has worked for Glynn or his guests, specifically, or are things discussed in a general way. Anyone who is dealing with their own health issues, mental or physical, should seek their own professional advice on what may help to support them, uniquely. Often, the best place to start is your family doctor or GP. If anyone is struggling, and needs to talk immediately, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
