Unbreakable: A Mother & Son’s Fight Against Cancer

Listen Later

Join us as we speak with Ashlee and Michael Cramer, the mother-son duo behind the Michael and Mom Talk Cancer podcast. Diagnosed at 19 with a rare and aggressive type of lymphoma, Michael endured intense treatments while Ashlee became his full-time caregiver. Together, they turned their pain into purpose—creating a platform to support other young adults and caregivers navigating cancer. In this episode, they open up about diagnosis, survivorship, and the unbreakable bond that grew from their shared experience. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about finding strength, hope, and beauty in life’s hardest moments.
