On today’s show, we’ll talk with Erin O’Donoghue. Erin’s story is one of inspiration and true gratitude during an incredibly challenging situation. It’s also a story that is not just hers. It’s one that is completely intertwined with the story of her son. Erin is a Physician Assistant Professor, but job #1 for her is being a mom to an amazing young cancer “warrior”.
In this episode, Erin will share with us her journey over the course of her son’s illness – from the moment she received the devastating news, to the unending treatments, to months in the hospital and to impossible setbacks. But along with the pain and uncertainty that weaved its way into her journey, she also found the power of gratitude and, with the help of her son’s wisdom, she found the importance of living in the moment (and having ice cream for dinner). She hopes to use her story to raise awareness and improve treatment options for pediatric cancer. In the meantime, Erin and her son celebrate the little victories and are grateful for each day.
Erin and her son’s story is one of incredible challenges, but, it is also one of incredible power and inspiration and one that I’m so grateful she is sharing with all of us.
So with that….enjoy.
