When Dobie was diagnosed with tongue cancer at just 29 years old, Chaya's life changed overnight. In this deeply personal conversation, she shares the realities of supporting her husband through surgery, recurrence, clinical trials and, ultimately, the heartbreaking loss of the love of her life.

Together, Barbara and Chaya explore the often-overlooked experiences of partners and caregivers, discussing advocacy, hope, grief, and the importance of simply showing up for those facing cancer. A powerful and compassionate episode that reminds us cancer affects the whole family.

Please note: This episode includes discussions about advanced cancer, end-of-life care, bereavement and grief.
