Show Notes

Isn't it interesting how people react when you give them bad news? As a caregiver, when you first find out about a diagnosis the next thing you have to do is tell your loved ones and then continue down the line of people you feel you should tell. Each time you have to do that you lose a little bit more of the energy you need to continue sharing the news and then answering the subsequent questions you usually don’t have the answers to. Listen to today’s episode to hear about my experiences in having to tell people about my husband's thyroid cancer diagnosis and the emotional toll some of those conversations took.
