Welcome to “ScrambledEggs&Ham”—the podcast that highlights the resilience and strength of individuals who have faced life-altering health challenges, including cancer, stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), and neurodiversity. Each episode dives into their personal journeys, revealing how they transformed adversity into growth, empowerment, stroke recovery, and lasting change.


Prepare to be inspired as we explore the incredible power of the human spirit.


“Health is not merely the absence of illness. A truly healthy life is one of creativity—where we continue to challenge ourselves, create, and move forward, expanding our horizons for as long as we live.”

— The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 1 (Revised Edition), p. 248


I hold deep respect for the medical and psychological communities whose work supports survivors and their families. This story seeks to honor the resilience of those who have faced adversity and the professionals who walk alongside them, but it should not be taken as a substitute for clinical expertise or therapy.

    Living With MS: Jenevieve’s Story of Strength, Faith & Moving Forward
    2026/10/02

    BILL:
    What do you think people misunderstand most about living with MS?

    GENEVIEVE:
    People may look at me and think I’m completely fine. If I’m standing still and talking to somebody face to face, they might not notice anything at all.

    But internally, I may be feeling something completely different.

    If I’m walking, sometimes people can tell something is going on. But there are also symptoms people just can’t see.

    BILL:
    That’s important, because not every disability or neurological condition is visible.

    And you’re doing a lot. You’re working, you’re in nursing school, and you’re still finding ways to move forward.

    You are not MS. MS is something you live with, but it isn’t everything you are.

    GENEVIEVE:
    Exactly.

    I try to keep going. I’m in school, I work, and I’m always trying to find different ways to better myself.

    Sometimes it gets frustrating because I can’t always do as much as I used to, but I still keep moving.

    BILL:
    And I think that’s one of the most important things people can hear.

    When I had my stroke, I had to learn that too. I had to keep moving forward even when I was frustrated, even when I felt like doctors weren’t listening, and even when recovery was difficult.

    GENEVIEVE:
    Sometimes I forget that. Thank you for reminding me.

    BILL:
    You’re welcome.

    And your story may remind somebody else.

    There may be somebody listening right now who has MS, who had a stroke, who is dealing with cancer, or who is going through some other major health challenge.

    They may need to hear somebody say, “I’m still here. I’m still working. I’m still learning. I’m still moving forward.”

    GENEVIEVE:
    Absolutely.

    BILL:
    That’s what Scrambled Eggs & Ham is about.

    It’s about the real person behind the diagnosis.

    And tonight, Genevieve, I think we were both the scrambled eggs.

    There was no ham.

    GENEVIEVE:
    Okay, now I understand it!

    BILL:
    There you go.

    After the Fall: Trebs Thompson on Cancer, Creativity, and the Will to Live
    2026/08/23
    “By participating, you agree the episode may be published and distributed.”Scrambled Eggs & Ham PodcastHost: Bill ClarkGuest: Trebs ThompsonTranscriptBill Clark:Good morning. Good morning to you, listeners. My name is Bill Clark, and I'm the host of the Scrambled Eggs & Ham podcast. Welcome back to the Scrambled Eggs & Ham podcast.This is a very important episode. It's called After the Fall: Trebs Thompson on Cancer, Creativity, and the Will to Live.Trebs has been on the Scrambled Eggs & Ham podcast before. Her story is important because it reminds us that serious illness can enter a life that is already full, crazy, and complicated.Trebs is an artist. She's a farmer, a comedy writer, and an improv performer. She has already faced major challenges in her life, including vision loss. Then, after a fall, she learned that she had cancer.What makes this story powerful is not only how the cancer was discovered. It is what happens when a person who has already had to adapt is asked to adapt again.This episode is about paying attention to your body, about how one unpredictable event can reveal something much larger, and about refusing to let your diagnosis become your entire identity.Trebs is still creating. She's still laughing, still thinking deeply about the world, and still moving forward.That is why her story matters.This morning, welcome back, Trebs.Trebs Thompson:Thank you, Bill. Good to talk to you again.Bill:The last time we spoke, you shared your journey with vision loss. I think the abbreviation was MacTel?Trebs:Macular telangiectasia type 2. It is a blinding disease, and that was a bitter pill to swallow. But there's been more since.Bill:Since then, life has taken another unexpected turn. Take us back to the fall. Can you share a little bit about what happened?Trebs:Last summer, I saw these little pantry moths—you know, the kind you get when you have a box of grain that's just been there too long.I got up on this little footstool and I was digging around up in my baking cupboard. My boyfriend said to me, "Hey, I'm a little taller than you. Let me get up there and find it."So I went to step off the stool, and it tipped over backward on me.I'd have probably been okay, but I stepped into the dog's water bowl. It went one way, and I went the other way, and I ended up on the floor.It was the most searing, god-awful pain in my hip.I said, "Anthony, I think I've broken my hip."He got me up and onto the sofa. We put ice on it. I took Tylenol. I waited a few hours. I took Motrin. I put hot water on it. I lay down. I just could not get comfortable.Around three o'clock in the morning, I said, "I can't stand it. I want to go to the emergency room."We're sitting at the end of my driveway. We have a couple of options out here, and I was like, "I want to go to the big hospital."He's like, "We'll be there until tomorrow. It'll take forever."And I was like, "I know, but I just hear this voice. I want to go to the main emergency room."So he drove me over there, and they weren't terribly busy. It was amazing.Immediately this really nice doctor came out and gave me a shot of Toradol. Interestingly enough, after that, the hip never hurt me again.He said, "We'll get an X-ray."They took me for the X-ray, and when they came back, he told Anthony, "Her hip is not broken, but I see a shadow I don't like, and we're going to get a scan."So they sent me back for a scan.When it came back, he said, "This is my first night in emergency. I'm a new doctor here, but I think you have some kind of tumor, and we're going to admit you right away."They admitted me. I stayed, I guess, four or five days while they ran a bunch of tests and different specialists came down and looked.And, yeah, I had a neuroendocrine tumor on my pancreas.It took several months from that point because I had to have biopsies, and the first biopsy was a little inconclusive. It showed both regular and irregular cells. That was the whole biopsy report.I thought, "Wow, well, that's useful to no one."In November, I had what they call a Whipple, where they removed half of my pancreas, half of my stomach, a ton of small bowel, duodenum, my lymph nodes, and a bunch of other stuff.Bill:Since they removed those tissues, how has that affected eating?Trebs:It's been really, really hard.And I'm a foodie. I love to eat. I've always been a big girl. This has been on the traumatic side.I'm down about 80 pounds from the surgery.It's only been in the last month that I can eat three meals a day, and even that's not guaranteed.The day before yesterday, I ate something that disagreed with me, and yesterday I had one meal—one tiny cup of tomato soup at bedtime. That was it for the day.Bill:What was your favorite food?Trebs:Oh my gosh, picking a favorite food is hard.I love pretty much any ethnic cuisine. I love Mexican, Jamaican, Italian, Chinese, Thai. I love it all.Bill:Wow.Trebs:Since the surgery, I've had to change the way that I eat. Softer foods are often more my ...

And this morning, my special, special guest is Jennifer Key. Thank you for having me. Yep, yep, yep. It's a pleasure. It's always a pleasure. So this morning, I am the scrambled egg, and you are the ham, Jennifer. So, Jennifer, tell us a little bit about your background. Tell the audience about, you know, Jennifer. Sure. Fantastic question. Not quite sure where you'd like me to start, but I am a daughter from a family of four. I grew up in the lovely state of New Jersey. And I am a athlete. I am a fan, fanatic, not quite sure what word you want to use regarding Mother Nature and the outdoors. I guess a modern-day hippie, I've been told. And I presently am exploring so many new and adventurous journeys, which has now brought me to you. Wow, that's great. So you love the outdoors. You call yourself a modern-day hippie. Yes. So, Jennifer, today's podcast is about trauma. It's a good one. Okay. Great. Can you tell me a little bit about how it has affected your life? When did this start? You know, was it when you were playing sports in high school, college, or when part of your relationships? How did it start? Like, how did this thing start? Like, you know, no one just, you know, just glides on the top of the water. There's always something underneath the water, right? So what happened? Great question, Bill. And I really thank you for the opportunity to talk about this as it's one that I think doesn't necessarily get enough attention in this particular country and something that's very near and dear to me regarding the healing process from trauma. So for me, it's really centered around sexual trauma. At a very young age, I was groomed, is the term I've been told, by a family member, which the percentages say that's usually the place that sexual trauma happens. And it happened within my home. And from the age of what I can remember, seven to about 11 years old, there was a nice grooming process. And I say nice, and I'll explain shortly. Grooming process of at first just reading stories, right? Being told to listen to, having a book read to me. And that was great. And every night, I would visit with this individual and just read stories, which was awesome. And then I'd go back to my room. So over the course of several years, meaning seven through 11, the stories got shorter and shorter. Okay. And what I mean by that is the sexual exploration of the individual started to happen with me. So he was at an age that I think he was exploring his sexuality and decided to experiment with me. Now, because this was a family member, I really, truly believed that this is what you would do with a family member because of the nature of the grooming. It was pleasant. I wasn't afraid. I wasn't hesitant. I really just thought that everything he asked me to do was what other family members do with family members. And I never really talked about it as it wasn't explained to me by this individual that it was something to hide or not talk about. It just never really came up in, like, general conversation with my friends or with my parents or even with my other family members. So around, yeah, I guess around 10, 11 is when it got a little more aggressive and a little more intense. And the nature of the abuse, and I'll say then the grooming, went from touching to then true exploration minus penetration. Oh, boy. So I was specifically groomed to offer fellatio in a very specific way. And that process, and I say this with great detail, was, you know, horrifying now looking back. But at the time, you know, being a child and not understanding what is happening, I had the need to please. That was kind of instilled in me at that point. And at the direction of that individual, I mean, I can't tell you the rounds and rounds of practice I was ...
