About

At the time of this recording the Corona Virus had not yet spread to the UK.  There is a quote among the cancer community that I wholeheartedly believe is a fact.  “One day you will tell your story of how you’ve overcome what you’re going through now, and it will become part of someone else’s survival guide.” My next guest is Michelle Johnson, mother to Alex, from a town near Liverpool, England. Her son was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia about a month and a half after my son.  We found each other early on during our son’s treatment and it’s been an honor getting to know her and her beautiful family over this past year! She shares with us the days leading up to his diagnosis, how he remained in school throughout treatment and how the amazing support from family, friends and school community helped them navigate the first year of treatment. We talk about some helpful self care techniques that have worked well for her as well as how she’s been able to grow closer to her husband and children throughout this challenging time. It was her original idea to use this platform to share her story in hopes that it will encourage other families to do the same, grow our community and raise awareness of the condition. And now without further ado I’d like to welcome Michelle Johnson to the podcast!
