Summary

Sarah was one of the unlucky few who was struck with the stark reminder that Breast Cancer does not discriminate based on age. With no family history, an active & healthy lifestyle, and an otherwise clean bill of health… Sarah was definitely a little surprised when, at 26 years old, she heard the words “You have cancer”. From feelin' out the lump to, escaping to Hawaii for some clarity, to kicking the sh*t out of cancer in a no rules bar brawl, Sarah's journey was a big one. Big shout out to our sponsor for this week - Wicked Wiggity Wigs over in Burnside. Be sure to listen right to the end of the episode to hear the wonderful jingle that they produced exclusively for Sickboy Podcast. WIGS!

0:41.3	Just hanging out here, hunkered down in my quarantine isolation station with a nice, ice cold beer and a dog at my feet, like an ottoman.
0:58.2	Hunkered down and holding up, still alive,
1:13.9	feeling, feeling hopeful, feeling, um, a bit weird, but for the most part, feeling like, um, I've said this time and time again, but I feel like we're going to come out of this with a net positive, although there's going to be a lot of loss and although, although times are
1:20.8	fucked up and, and, you know, scary and things are going to be tragic. I think when this is all
1:26.8	said and done with, when the dust settles, the world is going to be tragic. I think when this is all said and done with, when the dust
1:28.5	settles, the world is going to be a much more tolerable and beautiful space. And that's
1:36.7	something I've been meditating on quite a bit over the last couple of weeks. This wasn't what I meant to say. I didn't mean to start this episode like
1:48.4	that. It's just something that just kind of came to my mind. What I actually was meaning to do right
1:54.0	now is to say something that I know that we say time and time again at the end of every single
2:00.0	episode, but in this moment right now, I feel like it mean, we mean it more than we ever have.
