Losing their lively, lovable 3-year-old son 20 years ago to an unexpected illness changed everything for Christi and Mark Tripodi. Their grief seemed overwhelming and endless, particularly during the holiday season.

Wendy Ladley’s oncologist looks forward to her appointments with him for an unlikely reason: Wendy always makes him laugh.  

That’s no small accomplishment,  given that Wendy’s illness is no laughing matter. She is among the 6 percent of women breast cancer patients who have metastatic breast cancer (MCB) when they are first diagnosed. There is no cure.

Wendy knows the odds are against her. By the time her cancer was diagnosed, it had spread to her liver and her bones. She knows she will be in treatment for the rest of her life. 

But she also believes she has been blessed with the gift of joy. That joy lets her find the humor in her situation and the strength to confront her illness with hope. That joy helps her to share her experience, drawing women’s attention to MBC and encouraging the medical industry to support MCB research. 

Wendy shares her story about the power of joy as she joins Jennifer Malcolm for today's Jennasis Speaks podcast.
