Co-Survivors, Part 2

By the time internet-comedy power-couple Kristin (“Lady Glaucomflecken”) and Will Flanary (“Dr. Glaucomflecken”) were 35, Will had survived cancer twice, along with a sudden cardiac arrest. Throughout these traumatic experiences, Kristin took on the role of caregiver. In at least one case, she was also his lifeline.

Between her experience marrying into medicine, caring for a partner with a life-altering diagnosis, and her background in social psychology and cognitive neuroscience, Kristin brings a unique array of perspectives and insight to the cancer advocacy table.

In this episode of the Your Stories podcast, we welcome Kristin back to share more about being a caregiver, the challenges of navigating U.S. healthcare, and why cancer advocacy is so vital.

Help create a world where cancer is prevented or cured, and every survivor is healthy.
