Episode 2: Death, Taxes & Everything Else
After a powerful first episode, Just Diagnosed is back with another raw, unfiltered look at life after a life-changing diagnosis. This week, Steve and Kati dive into the realities of navigating treatment, including unexpected side effects, balancing work and fatigue, and making big financial and medical decisions.
Steve opens up about some brutal side effects he faced this week—including fevers, fatigue, and unexpected changes to his body—while reflecting on how he's adjusting to a new reality. He and Kati also discuss the importance of second opinions, experimental treatments, and what it really means to prepare for the unknown (yes, we’re talking wills, power of attorney, and all the fun stuff they never tell you about).
And because it wouldn’t be Just Diagnosed without some laughs, they close things out with a rapid-fire “This or That” showdown, debating everything from Billy Joel vs. Bruce Springsteen to invisibility vs. super strength.
This episode is raw, real, and surprisingly funny—because even in the hardest moments, there’s always room to laugh.
