On this episode, we speak with Brian Fugere, who is a synovial sarcoma survivor of 20 years. Brian shares his perspective on what the sarcoma landscape looked like 20 years ago at the time of his diagnosis, taking us through his treatment journey and how his marathon running has been an outlet for him to not only give back to the sarcoma community, but also reclaim his life.
We are so fortunate to be able to be a part of Brian's reflection and discuss so many topics like what to say to support someone during a sarcoma diagnosis, giving permission to be honest about how you're feeling and the important roles of care partners in our life.
