Jake and Michelle's best friend Mandy Kidwell, who recently lost her husband Merle to cancer joins us for episode 14. In this incredibly vulnerable and human episode, Mandy walks us through handling the curveball of Merle's cancer diagnosis, the treatment choices she and Merle made, how their 10 year old daughter handled it, the amount of work she was doing every day to keep him alive and hopefully healing, shifting from 100% believing one day he'd make it then having him die the next day, and navigating the uninvited treatment opinions of all the people that came out of the woodwork when they heard of Merle's diagnosis.
