His Kidney, Her Cancer - Ain't that a kick in the head?


Listen Later

"My husband had a kidney transplant... I just got breast cancer. Ain't that a kick in the head?" This week, we're joined by Kacy and Thomas, a couple who knows what "in sickness and in health" really means. First, Thomas went through kidney failure, dialysis , and a life-saving transplant from his childhood best friend. Just as life found its new normal, the roles were completely flipped when Kacy was diagnosed with an aggressive, non-hormonal breast cancer. They share their incredible journey of being both patient and caregiver, the "oil spill" feeling of chemo , the power of being "too angry to die" , and the profound lessons they've learned about fighting with each other when you're healthy, not just when you're sick.
