In September 2023, I shared a post for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month outlining the symptoms my child, Sadie, had prior to diagnosis of a cancerous brain tumor. To read that post, click here: https://www.stacieeirich.com/post/for-childhood-cancer-awareness-month
This September for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I’m sharing a series of short videos from our journey to Sadie’s cure. They were taken from December 2022-September 2023, while we lived in Memphis through cancer treatments at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
These videos are a testament to Sadie’s strength, resilience, creativity and how we found light through darkness. Most importantly, they are a window into the life of a pediatric cancer patient and why childhood cancer awareness matters.
In addition to our Hope for Sadie playlist, I want to share a podcast episode that Sadie and I were honored to be able to do together. We were invited on Mark Levine’s Help and Hope Happen Here, a podcast that focuses on childhood cancer.
In this 60 minute episode, we outline our journey from diagnosis through the end of treatments and Sadie’s current status of NED — No Evidence of Disease. We hope sharing it will help other pediatric cancer patients & families and spread awareness of childhood cancer. To listen, click the image or link below and choose your favorite podcast platform.
