Some of the things they cover in the conversation:

Getting a cancer diagnosis, knowers, emotions when you find out your partner has cancer,

self-care while caring for a loved one with cancer, fighting vs. embracing cancer, resiliency, Nature, the iimportance of community, embracing change, getting support as a support person and more!
