In our final episode, we continue to expand upon what caregiving looks like through the eyes of two women who have very different, non-traditional experiences for their parents. We examine the emotional side, the mental load, and the educational advocacy needed to sort through the deluge of information that comes with a cancer diagnosis. We are so quick to turn to Google for all of our answers to our medical questions. When Mari Hoffman’s dad was diagnosed with CLL, she found comfort in getting educated. She bonded with her dad through research, and they spent a lot of time together googling the latest CLL information. Mari went on to study genetics and genomics in college at UC Davis, where she is a recent graduate. Our other guest Michelle Stonis, a mom of three and a university professor from California, found the “google rabbit hole” very stressful. She made a conscious choice to stay away from googling until a few days before her mom’s battle with CLL came to an end. Join us for this inspiring conversation from two women in different phases of their lives as they share their very different approaches to caregiving.
