Series 1 Episode 3 Let Freedon Ring!...Straight Outta Hospital In this episode, Let Freedom Ring…Straight Outta Hospital, Angie is out of hospital. She's trying to find her way do the Mom thing knowing that she needs to rest. It's impossible, but she's doing it because she doesn't have a choice. She's used to being prodded around the clock and now she can rest when the children are in nursery or school. Karlee and Angie discuss the difficulties of being in hospital and how resilient their children are. They try as hard as they can to make hospital feel like fun for the kids and home without them feels like a party! The two discuss the lovely people that helped them with child-care and dropped what they were doing to keep the children happy. Karlee discusses her feelings around having a re-excision after her lumpectomy knowing that the cancer wasn't out. You can tell she wants to cry, but she composes herself to keep it real. Angie mentions how long it took her to get diagnosed- 3mos. 3 months is a long time and Karlee and Angie discuss all the things you can do in 90 days. Angie was even quarantined in that time. That felt like something out of an ER episode from back in the day. Angie had a clear biopsy in February and in May she was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer at 37 years old. Research points out it happens to older people and she is even a non-smoker. Somehow the two ladies find a silver lining in a daily chemo tablet for life. You don't lose your hair. Karlee mentions she lost hers, but totally feels for Angie going through chemo on a daily basis. Again, she composes herself to listen to what Angie has to say.
