Shapes Of Grief

Ep. 55 Dana Lawson on living with Cancer


Listen Later

Sometimes I as I write these descriptions, I know that my words simply do not do justice to the story being shared; this episode is one of those times. Dana Lawson takes us through her experience of learning to live with cancer, go through extreme domestic violence and still come out the other side with a focus on achieving life-long dreams, despite her life experience. Dana talks about the 'battle' language of cancer, why that didn't serve her and why she chose, instead, to befriend her cancer as a part of her body.  Inspiring doesn't do this justice!
