    Fumiko Chino, MD is a cancer researcher and Assistant Attending in Radiation Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She was also a caregiver for her husband Andrew Mark Ladd, PhD who died from cancer in 2007. Fumiko joins How We Got Here for a conversation about the many ways caregiving and loss shape and inspire us in our personal and professional lives.

She also discusses the biggest challenge they faced — one that many families can relate to: the inability to keep up with the rising costs of medical care after a diagnosis (a phenomenon called financial toxicity). Fumiko explains how open conversations about care expenses can free us from the shame of not being able to afford care and make others more aware of our financial limitations.
