Description

In this solo episode, Vanessa shares a deeply personal experience that shook her to the core. What started as a frightening health scare quickly turned into hours of fear, uncertainty and loneliness, made worse by a lack of compassion and clear communication from the medical team.

Vanessa opens up about the emotions that ran through her mind, the what ifs, and the importance of compassion in healthcare. She also reflects on how moments like this remind us of the preciousness of life, and why she created Someone Like Me Your Cancer Community in the first place.

This is a raw, honest conversation from Vanessa for anyone who has ever felt afraid, unheard or left in the dark.
