Cancer Takes and Takes, But It Also Gives: Clara's Story

February 12
55 mins

Episode Description

At age 31, Clara sits down with Cody to discuss a year that changed everything. What started as hip pain from running turned into a devastating diagnosis: Stage 4 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with metastases to her bones, liver, brain, and pelvis.

Clara shares her journey through aggressive chemotherapy that nearly killed her, the difficult decision to stop treatment, and facing the loss of her ability to have biological children. She talks honestly about moving from independence to needing help, learning to voice her needs, and the challenge of setting boundaries when you're sick.

Far from giving up, Clara has found new purpose in advocacy work and is looking forward to skydiving, traveling, and being there for the people she loves.
