Customer Reviews
Some hope and sunshine for those suffering from Pancreatic Cancer
Mo radiates joy. In these powerful candid interviews she shares her story of surviving pancreatic cancer (or as she says “I survived motherhood. I experienced pancreatic cancer”) to now being cancer free for 5+ years.
Mo is strong. But it’s also her family, her community, and her sunny disposition. And of course, a lot of luck and some great doctors.
Highly recommend a listen especially among a sea of negative information online and elsewhere to a generally bleak diagnosis.
A ray of sunshine for anyone in Pancreatic Cancer’s orbit
These 4 podcast episodes were created to share a story of positivity in the face of Pancreatic Cancer. I am biased, but I think the interview subject of this podcast series is insightful, entertaining and simply an amazing woman. I am biased because the interview subject is my mother.
