Cancer and Comedy

Facing a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but what if you could approach it with gratitude and even a bit of humor? In a special Thanksgiving-themed episode of Cancer and Comedy, co-hosts Deb Krier and Dr. Brad Miller explore the profound power of community, personal growth, and thankfulness. They remind listeners that no matter how tough life gets, it’s possible to find joy and meaning.

Deb and Dr. Miller share their lists of gratitude, revealing how cancer has reshaped their perspectives. From the medical teams that have saved their lives to the unexpected friendships born from shared struggles, they express deep appreciation for the support systems that uplift them. Deb reflects on the positivity she's chosen to cultivate, even when others question it, saying, “Focusing on the positive is also the truth—for me.” Dr. Miller emphasizes how a shift in perspective can transform bitterness into hope, sharing his mantra to live “better, not bitter.”

In addition to heartfelt moments, the episode is peppered with humor—including “dad jokes” to lighten the mood—and practical advice, like finding ways to pay gratitude forward. The hosts encourage listeners to build their own communities and celebrate small wins, even during life’s darkest chapters.

The key takeaway? Gratitude and humor can be powerful tools to face adversity. What can you be thankful for today, even in the midst of challenges? As Dr. Miller reminds us, “A cheerful heart is good medicine.” Join the Cancer and Comedy community and discover how to turn the grim into a grin.
