Preparing For the Unthinkable with Beautiful Molly


Listen Later

Beautiful Molly is a 37-year-old wife, mom, and stepmom living in Arizona. Molly had been dealing with what she thought was an earache, but after numerous trips to multiple doctors, she was diagnosed with stage four oral squamous cell carcinoma, in the form of head and neck cancer stemming from the tongue. Molly had to fight for her own health as she visited several doctors and dentists for answers--knowing in her gut that something was wrong. After an oral surgeon officially diagnosed her, Molly underwent some radical treatments, but less than a year later, she found another lump and was given less than a year to live. Molly gets vulnerable about the process of getting her affairs in order including writing letters to her young son. With a clear head and hopeful heart, Molly inspires us with her faith and fortitude throughout this ordeal.

Quotes

"I had no risk factors associated with my cancer. So actually, hearing the words that I had cancer was a big shock to both [me and my husband]." -Molly Cassidy

 

"I believe God whispers through us, through our intuition. And I feel like every time I've ignored something that was just sitting deep in my gut, I've been wrong in ignoring it. And so I think that we need to pursue what we know. We know what our bodies are like. We know when something's wrong." -Molly Cassidy

 

"It was really my son that gave me such a drive to be able to persevere through devastating news." -Molly Cassidy

 

"I had a hard time finding other people with my type of cancer. And it wasn't until I started my presence on social media, my own presence, that I found other women to connect to who were interested in hearing my story and sharing theirs as well." -Molly Cassidy

 

"Love makes me beautiful. I love deeply, I love passionately. And I think that my love for my family and my son in particular and also for myself has gotten me through this really hard journey." -Molly Cassidy
