A Son, A Mother, and Two Cancer Journeys | Logan's Reflections on Losing Linda Mae

In today’s powerful episode, Mikayla sits down with Logan Lee Lamson, a writer, cancer survivor, and former primary caregiver for his mom, Linda May.

Logan first stepped into caregiving at just 26 years old when his mom was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Fifteen months later, she passed away. Years after losing her, Logan received his own devastating diagnosis: Hodgkin lymphoma. Suddenly, he found himself navigating the same hospitals, treatments, and fears he once walked through as a caregiver.

In this conversation, Logan opens up about:

• What it was like to care for his mom during her cancer journey
• The moment he realized his own symptoms were being overlooked
• Why patients and caregivers both struggle to advocate for themselves
• The reality of anticipatory grief and watching someone you love change
• How humor, community, and small joys kept him going
• What he wishes the media told the truth about when it comes to cancer
• And the unexpected parallels between his mom’s treatment and his own

Logan also shares about his book, Losing Linda May: A Cancer Caregiving Memoir. a first-person, present-tense account that captures the day-to-day reality of caregiving with honesty, love, and vulnerability.

His book is available exclusively on Amazon as an ebook and through Kindle Unlimited.
