About this listen
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To help raise awareness, we return to our conversation with Sam and Susan Simon. You may remember Sam and Susan from our first episode of season two. Adaobi and Carter visited with them about his Alzheimer's diagnosis, the importance of care partners and his one man play called "Dementia Man, An Existential Journey."
Back in 2000, Susan was diagnosed with breast cancer and wasn't expected to survive. Sam wrote a book and one man play called "The Actual Dance, Love's Ultimate Journey Through Breast Cancer." That play and book is about Sam's journey as a care partner during that time.
Now, in episode six we excerpt that conversation and learn about Susan's cancer, Sam's reaction as a care partner and their perspectives on care giving and grief.
