Episode 5
In this episode, we relate to Kate Bowler's telling of how she had to admit that she did not how to do this: Live with life as a chronic condition.
She gives this beautiful illustration of hikers on the Appalachian Trail and the advice she was given by them that really helped her.
Shara (Pete's wife and caregiver) and Pete (cancer fighter) share their very fresh (this week) experience with uncertainty and a climbing cancer number even when radiation was to reduce that number significantly. Dealing with life as a chronic condition is daily and they share how we can do so by laying things down, giving them up, and as a result allowing themselves to be...human.
