Looking beyond the traditional definition of wealth, we’re honoured to be joined for this second episode with Dr. Julia Ambler, co-founder and director of the Umduduzi Hospice Care Children's Palliative Care Charity in Durban, South Africa
Her stories of children and families struggling with the harsh realities of illnesses like leg cancer and hydrocephalus, especially in a developing country, stirred my heart.
We take you through a journey beyond the confines of personal wealth, where we explore the essence of life's riches that extend beyond materialistic gain.
We go deep into the lives of mothers who perform miraculous acts of love caring for their sick children in a country with limited healthcare, and we discuss the concept of legacy and the indelible imprints we leave as we go through life.
Dr Julia Ambler takes us through the complexities of leg cancer in children and teenagers, more specifically Osteosarcoma.
The raw reality of families and patients dealing with this aggressive cancer, especially in a country where medical care is scarce and cultural beliefs prevalent, is heartrending.
This conversation amplifies the pressing need for a holistic approach to treatment for young patients with cancer.
We bring light to the trials and tribulations families face when dealing with hydrocephalus and neurological disabilities.
The stigma surrounding these conditions in rural communities is a tough obstacle.
However, amidst the struggle and the sorrow, we stumble upon stories of resilience, triumph, and hope. We share a beautiful story of survival - a child thriving post-leukaemia.
As we listen through these compelling narratives, we reflect on the impact we have on families during their most challenging times, and the privilege of being able to provide support and understanding.
