Accepting the diagnosis, not the prognosis with Jesse & Amanda
Manage episode 437833111 series 3579569
I invited my friend Jesse Brisendine back on the show and asked him to see if Amanda would join us. The two are best friends and in the last four months they have been navigating a Mount Everest of a health challenge. Amanda agreed to come on the show. Amanda is an ultra endurance athlete and was in training when things started to go south. Her leg buckled and she intuitively knew something was really wrong. The two went to the E.R. and she received the news. Amanda was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma. She is fully aware of and accepting of the diagnosis. She is not however, willing to accept the prognosis. The two are committed to exploring all avenues both western and non western alike to help her heal and enjoy more time with the people and animals she loves so dearly. The two decided to document this journey in hopes that they can create a blueprint so others can use their findings in the future to help them heal. On this show we talk about courage, bravery, and even health tips to stay focused on what really matters; the people she loves and staying in the moment. You will find out about "Death Cleaning" and what this term means, and how Amanda faced it with humor and grace. She even shares her on-going mantra, "what is the best thing that can happen right now?" This show is filled full of laughter, hope, and information for anyone facing a difficult time in their life. My hope is you will feel uplifted and inspired by this remarkable couple. It's your time to shine with Jesse & Amanda on The Next Room!
