Cancer in the Family

Having watched her baby sister go through leukemia twice, April Ward was determined to play an active, informed role in her own treatment, after a diagnosis of breast cancer in 2018 .   April used science-backed research in making decisions about her cancer treatment and care, and after just two months of treatment, her tumors had disappeared.   Then, in 2021, April’s soulmate, Chris, died suddenly of lung cancer. He was misdiagnosed, which added to the shock of his death.   These experiences led April to create Remission for Life to help share with patients, what works and what doesn't.   In this episode, we talked about:

• How differing cancer types, treatments, and experiences can be a learning moment for everyone.
• How sharing your cancer experience can help someone else
• How to move forward to be the best version of yourself and be confident in the decisions you are making
