Invisible Condition - Ep 007 - Life after cancer: Living in the moment
Manage episode 386848817 series 3532759
You are taking a shower, wash yourself down there and notice a lump so you go to your doctor. The doctor isn't concerned but decides to send you for some tests. Next thing you realize, at 32, you have testicular cancer and are now in a battle for your life.
Chris Ho has battled testicular cancer not once, but twice. In this episode, we talk about the importance of permission, sharing, healing, and community.
We know that not everyone wants to hear our stories. And to us, that's something we cannot control. But, when someone invites us to share, Chris's take is to start small, be honest, and allow others to get curious.
