\n Sometimes the best conversations happen when you\u2019re not sitting in\n front of a screen.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n The Jonesing For The Journey Podcast<\/strong> brings the same\n honest stories, lessons, patient advocacy, and real-life conversations\n from JFTJ into an audio format you can take with you \u2014 whether you\u2019re\n driving, walking, sitting in a waiting room, or simply looking for a\n little perspective during your own journey.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n These aren\u2019t polished stories told after everything has been neatly\n resolved. They\u2019re conversations from the middle of the journey.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Sue and I share what we\u2019re learning as life unfolds: navigating\n prostate cancer, treatment and recovery, caregiving, changing plans,\n difficult decisions, advocacy, relationships, retirement dreams,\n and all the unexpected detours that come with rebuilding a life you\n thought would look very different.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n \n The goal isn\u2019t to tell anyone what decision they should make.\n It\u2019s to share enough of our experience that you might know one\n more question to ask when you face your own.\n <\/strong>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

What You\u2019ll Hear<\/h2>\n\n
\n\n
\n

The Patient Journey<\/h3>\n\n

\n Real conversations about diagnosis, appointments, treatment\n decisions, recovery, setbacks, milestones, and what happens\n when the next test changes the road ahead.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Patient Advocacy<\/h3>\n\n

\n Why understanding your own information matters, why one test\n rarely tells the whole story, and why asking one more question\n can change the conversation.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n

The Caregiver Perspective<\/h3>\n\n

\n A serious diagnosis never affects just one person. We also\n talk about spouses, partners, caregivers, family members,\n and the people traveling beside us.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n

Life Beyond the Diagnosis<\/h3>\n\n

\n Cancer may be part of our story, but it isn\u2019t the entire story.\n We also talk about relationships, purpose, retirement, travel,\n family, hope, and continuing forward when plans change.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

If You\u2019re New to the Podcast<\/h2>\n\n

\n You don\u2019t need to listen in order. Start with the episode that speaks\n most directly to what you\u2019re facing today.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n If you\u2019re newly diagnosed, begin with episodes about diagnosis and\n learning to advocate for yourself. If treatment is approaching,\n explore the conversations about surgery, radiation, recovery, and\n preparing for what comes next.\n <\/p>\n\n\n
