Where I am right now

In this episode, I sit down with my best friend for one of the most honest and vulnerable conversations we’ve ever had. We talk about her experience living with blood cancer; what it’s been like physically, emotionally, and everything in between.

We share what diagnosis felt like, how our lives have shifted, the fears we don’t always say out loud, and the strength we’ve had to find in moments we never expected. There are tears, there is laughter, and there is so much love in this conversation.

This episode is about friendship, resilience, and the reality of living with cancer, not just the hard parts, but the connection, perspective, and meaning that can come from it too.

If you or someone you love is going through something similar, we hope this makes you feel a little less alone.

In this episode of Where I Am Right Now, I’m sitting down with my husband, Jon, to talk about what cancer looks like from the other side.

You’ve heard my experience; the chemo, the side effects, the anxiety, but this time, we’re sharing what it’s been like for him.

The fear, the strength, the quiet moments, and the things partners carry that often go unseen.

This conversation is raw, emotional, and full of love. If you’re navigating cancer; as a patient or as a partner, we hope this makes you feel a little less alone.

In this episode, I talk about the incredible support surrounding me during cancer treatment and how much it truly matters. I share thoughtful gift and care package ideas for anyone supporting a loved one with cancer, what to avoid saying or giving, and my experience with an MRI-guided breast biopsy; what it’s like and what to expect if you ever need one.Thank you for listening!

Motherhood doesn’t stop when cancer enters the picture. In this episode, I share what it’s like balancing chemo, mom guilt, school drop-offs, rest, and showing up for my kids in ways that look different than before. For any mom walking through something hard; you’re not alone.

This episode is about the invisible side of cancer, the mental and emotional weight that shows up between treatments and appointments. I talk about anxiety, waiting for results, spiraling thoughts, and the fear that lives beneath the surface. If this part of cancer has made you feel like something is wrong with you, I hope this reminds you that it’s not. You’re human.

This episode is about my treatment plan, which incudes chemo/immunothetapy called THP and side effects that come with it.

There is a spot towards the end where I talk about women parts, and how they are affected, if you don’t want to hear I give a heads up so you can fast forward it.

Thank you for listening.

My Diagnosis is Grade 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) and Ductal Carcinoma in SITU (DCIS), Triple Positive.

This episode is where I talk about how I got diagnosed ,the process and the actually diagnosis itself, and I talk little at the end about my treatment plan.

This is the first episode of Where I Am Right Now.

I’m Kassandra. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 34, and I needed somewhere to speak honestly while I’m still inside it.

This episode isn't perfect, its just raw and real, its slow paced.

It’s just me talking about where I am today; what led me here, why I’m starting this podcast, and what it feels like to begin telling this story out loud.
