Summary
I am re-sharing this episode in memory of Lara.
Lara lived with type 3c diabetes after losing her pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, and part of her stomach during surgery for a pancreatic tumor. In this conversation, she shared what that life looked like — the physical challenges, the learning curve, and the strength it took to keep going.
Lara has since passed away. Her mother asked if I would run this episode again in her memory. I am honored to do so.
If you didn't hear Lara the first time, listen now. If you did, maybe you'll hear something new. Lara's story matters.
First aired January 2024: Lara has type 3c diabetes. She lost her pancreas, spleen, gall bladder and part of her stomach during a pancreatic tumor surgery.
