21. Am I Allowed to Be Sad?

Cancer doesn’t just affect your body. It changes how you think, how you feel, and how you move through the world. In this episode, David sits down with Dr. Megan Pailler, a clinical psychologist at Roswell Park, to talk about the emotional realities of a cancer diagnosis. They explore why fear, grief, and uncertainty aren't problems to solve, but experiences to make room for, and how embracing the full range of human emotion can make it easier to find meaning, connection, and even moments of joy along the way.
