This episode you meet Rachel from Vancouver Island, BC.  She is currently going through her cancer journey as we speak and will actually be having a scan in October shortly after this episode will air.  Rachel shares her Cancer Story with Stage II primary mediastinal b-cell lymphoma (Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma).  She speaks about how she was diagnosed, cancer treatment during a pandemic and being a patient instead of being a nurse.  Rachel also shares the struggles of sharing her diagnosis with friends and family as well as the decision to not tell her children right away.  We talk more about 3 major turning points in her life as well as the grieving process and the kindness of others.  To learn more about Rachel and Blood Cancer Awareness month and her Blog, please visit the link below:
