I feel honoured to share this third conversation with Jannine Gearon who I interviewed before in May and June this year.
Jannine lives with cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) - a rare and aggressive cancer with very confronting statistics. In our previous two episodes, she bravely shared her journey, including her decision to explore voluntary assisted dying (VAD) as a way of reclaiming a sense of choice amidst pain and uncertainty.
Today, there’s a plot twist.
A newly available targeted drug, found by her sister at what felt like the literal 11th hour, has begun changing the trajectory of her disease. Her latest scan and bloods show things are not progressing as expected - in the best possible way. As Jannine says, “the cancer is not behaving as it should,” and her oncologist is now cautiously optimistic.
May this episode entangle in the quantum field with the exact people who are meant to hear it, and create beautiful ripples in your life and the lives of those you love.
