In her book, The Red Devil: A Memoir About Beating the Odds, Katherine Russell Rich wrote about her breast cancer survivorship. She described her experience as “living in two time zones” at once. I completely understand the concept, but for me it was more like living two lives at once.

Navigating getting to school and work on time, passing my chemistry exams or sitting through business meetings, getting the laundry done and figuring out what I was going to feed Nick for dinner, these things are part of the “chop wood, carry water of life.”

The more private part of life was where I faced the really tough life and death questions. Who is going to be there for Nick if I don’t survive this? What do I need to do to “get my affairs in order?” Do I believe in God? Who’s going to take my cats?

Living in both worlds was tough at best and like almost every other cancer survivor I have met along the way, crazy making when at its worst.

Today’s show is about bringing those two lives together, whether you are the one with cancer or are walking beside someone on the path todays episode is for you.

Tune in if you’re looking for some ideas on how to find your way through the emotions we have a hard time talking about.
