The Unchosen Fork

It’s not the path they choose, but it’s the one they are on. Being diagnosed with a chronic, severe, or terminal illness can be heartbreaking, confusing, and lonely. And that’s just day one. The Unchosen Fork is a podcast all about life, health and keeping sane while dealing with an illness. We - two women dealing with chronic diagnoses - discuss what we know now, what we wish we had known, what we want to discover about the realities and science about illness.Some paths choose you. Join us on the Unchosen Fork.

Kelly

Kelly is excited to share the information she has learned through her family's quest to beat the odds against brain cancer.

Over four years ago, when her husband and Kelly were beginning her family, they learned he had a rare, inoperable brain tumor. Kelly threw herself into reading and incorporating ways to support traditional treatment.

For Kelly, this research and implementation gave some control back during a time when she had none. Kelly has implemented many of these practices into her own life to become more healthy and prevent the chance of cancer for herself. She hopes that some positivity is born from her family's unexpected journey.

Kelly works in the medical field and lives with her husband and daughter, enjoying each day as it comes.

Sarah

Sarah lived 44 years of her life not knowing what cassava flour was. Now, as she lives with Hashimoto's Encephalitis, she spends many days figuring out how she can use it to create a pasta that tastes like her grandmother's.

Living with a chronic and debilitating illness is certainly not what she planned. However, it now allows her to do the two things that she loves best: talking and helping others.

The rest of her time is spent working in the Technology fields, coding away, and with her husband, son, and two dogs enjoying the southern weather.
