What happens when your mom gets Stage 4 cancer as she is descending into dementia? How did a filmmaker from North Carolina (USA) end up abandoning their life to move to Virginia (USA) to suddenly take care of that mom? Does it even make sense given his abusive history with her? Trigger warnings all around. Take a listen.
Episode 2 of: "US AT OUR WORST: A Caregiver’s Unvarnished Account of Cancer & Dementia Care" is called "THE BEST HOT CHOCOLATE THAT THERE IS". In this episode we start the journey of getting ready to start radiation. This episode comes complete with mom's sugary food obsession, Dad bowing out for a while, me laying on the ground crying in the woods, and lots of other hot takes. I think you'll like it.
