Trevor's blog: Thank you Gabe

This "unplugged" episode features just me and one of my blog posts.

On this cancer journey, when bitterness creeps into your soul -- and it will -- what are you going to do?

Are you going to feel sorry for yourself? Check out from the things you love because they're too painful? Shake your head and say no, it hasn't been worth it?

Or will you choose life? Will you invite joy and celebrate the moments as they come?

It's OK to experience bitterness. I'm just suggesting that it's not OK to dwell there.

I suggest we follow the lead of Gabriele "Gabe" Grunewald. Gabe was a professional runner, and she LIVED with cancer for 10 years, between her diagnosis as a college student at age 22, and her death in 2019 at the age of 32.

"Cancer can stop you from doing a lot of things. I'm well aware of that. But I'm more interested in what cancer can't stop me from doing. Here's to finding out."

About the Podcast

Man Up to Cancer
The show built for men facing cancer, and the people who love us!
I'm your host, Trevor Maxwell. I'm a stage IV colon cancer survivor, and I've got a message for other men: You don't have to go through cancer alone.

Every week on the Man Up to Cancer podcast, you can expect raw, unfiltered conversations about men, cancer, and our experiences. My guests will be other patients, survivors, advocates, and friends from #cancerland.

We'll tackle the topics of grief, pain, and the physical suck-fest of cancer. But .. PLOT TWIST.. we're also going to joke, laugh, and have fun.
