Summary

How do you tell your eleven year old daughter that you have a brain tumour that will very likely take your life? Do you censor yourself for her sake? Do you pretend it's not there? Do you just follow your gut and talk to her like any other human being? This week on Sickboy the fellas sit down with one of the coolest moms they've ever met, Charmaine! Blind in one eye, diagnosed with bipolar and sitting on a ticking time bomb brain tumour in her right frontal lobe that could take her out at any point. Are mental illness and brain tumours related? (We have no friggin idea) Is Lollapalooza kid friendly? (most definitely) Are Jeremie and Taylor too hard on Brian? (Too be determined). We love Charmaine! We love this recording and we know you will too!
