Writer, podcaster, and healthcare advocate Kristin Flanary—or Lady Glaucomflecken as she’s known online—first introduced Your Stories host Dr. Mark Lewis to the concept of co-survivorship two years ago. As her husband Will went through two testicular cancer diagnoses and a sudden cardiac arrest, she later realized that she hadn’t just supported him through those experiences and challenges—she had shared them with him.
For National Family Caregivers Month, Kristin returns to Your Stories to reflect on her discussion with Dr. Lewis, her feelings on co-survivorship, and the importance of showing up for the loved ones of people with cancer.
