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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
