On this episode, we speak with Breon and Leia Glass. Breon, a 29-year-old synovial sarcoma survivor and law enforcement officer, found his tumor while on a foot pursuit. He takes us through his diagnosis journey, the decision for amputation as part of his treatment plan, and how he has adapted to his new normal since then. His wife, Leia, provides insight into supporting a loved one through a sarcoma diagnosis. Together, they emphasize the importance of personal research, living life fully despite a diagnosis, and seeking support. They both highlight the unwavering support from their family and Breon's law enforcement colleagues.

There is no doubt that Breon and Leia are strong, but together, they are a powerhouse team. We were fortunate to sit down for this conversation with both a patient and care partner, husband and wife, for the first time on Sarcoma Stories.

Thank you to Breon and Leia for sharing your journey and your insights with us.
