Manage episode 509276813 series 3680708
Krista Wilson is the Executive Director of Cancer Pathways Midwest in Evansville, Indiana.
With over 20 years walking side by side with cancer patients, Krista has developed a rare perspective on what it truly means to live, when seen through the lens of terminal illness.
Host Nic Main returns to Evansville to bring Krista’s story forward, not only as a leader and advocate, but also as a Stage 1 Cervical Cancer survivor herself.
In Chapter 1, Krista shares:
Life before and after cancer
The stigma surrounding cervical cancer and HPV
The psychological battles of survivorship
The power of community and the meaning of “I get it” for patients
The definition of Cancer Ghosting
The reality of caregiving
Above all, Krista reflects on the power of simply being present with someone navigating cancer versus the instinct to always take action.
This is Last Words: Death Perception.
This is Krista Wilson.
