What happens when cancer treatment and chemo brain collide with no sleep, no food, and no clear answers?
You get a story so chaotic, it starts with chicken soup and ends in the emergency room. Oh, and Alex peeing on the wall.
In this episode, we’re taking you through the most harrowing 24 hours of our journey yet — a rollercoaster of medical missteps, frantic decisions, and one very questionable choice not to call an ambulance.
What to Expect:
•The subtle warning signs that things were spiraling out of control.
•Alex’s “pee tour” of the apartment and the unforgettable bathroom incident.
•How a PET scan became a race against time—and sanity.
•The hard lesson Lauren learned about being a medical advocate.
Trigger Warning:
This episode contains discussions of medical emergencies, caregiving under extreme stress, and moments of emotional vulnerability. While we keep our humor alive, some content may feel heavy for listeners.
