Surviving Silence: One Milwaukeean's Journey from Cancer to Inspiring Others
Surviving Silence: One Milwaukeean's Journey from Cancer to Inspiring OthersDescription
In this episode, Steve and Adam talk with friend of the show Rick Czaplewski - cancer survivor, author, speaker, and dedicated Milwaukeean.
Here are a few highlights:
- Rick, a two-time cancer survivor, wrote an award-winning book called "Better Dirty Than Done" about his experience with cancer, which has led to speaking opportunities to inspire others.
- Diagnosed with cancer as a freshman in college, Rick initially went through treatment alone, not wanting to be known as "the cancer guy" on campus.
- With powerful analogies, like being denied entry to a baseball game, Rick helps people understand the experience of cancer diagnosis and survivorship.
We take this conversation seriously, while also having some great laughs with Rick.
