How do you prepare yourself for the long game when you really just want to get things done and over with?

Receiving a cancer diagnosis takes you into a whole world of what I call, hurry up and wait. There is a lot to be done and, if you are like me, you just want to get it done and over with.

The reality is, moving through the medical system towards your goal of healing can take time, time that you want to speed up and just get done.

In this episode, we dive deep into the reality of living with cancer—a journey that’s not a quick sprint to the finish line but a marathon that tests endurance, mindset, and resilience. We explore how pacing yourself, finding support, and adjusting to life’s unexpected detours can help you thrive in the long run. Whether you’re a patient, survivor, caregiver, or supporter, this episode offers insights, practical tips, and inspiration to help you stay strong, focused, and empowered throughout your cancer marathon.
