Debbie Miller joins Dr. Brad Noah on this episode of The Cancer and Comedy Podcast.

Debbie, the wife of Dr. Brad, fills in for co-host Deb Kreh to share a heartfelt and humorous conversation about coping with cancer through laughter, faith, and deep connection.

In this episode, Dr. Brad and Debbie reflect on their shared journey after Brad’s cancer diagnosis and how humor became a way to heal and stay connected. Debbie also opens up about losing her father to stomach cancer at a young age and how that experience shaped her response to Brad’s illness.

The couple discuss the powerful role of community, faith, and shared laughter in facing adversity. They explore lessons learned from watching comedians Steve Martin and Martin Short live in concert and from their show Only Murders in the Building. Both find inspiration in how the two entertainers use humor and friendship to navigate aging, loss, and reinvention.

Debbie shares that humor has been a vital part of keeping hope alive, even during painful seasons, and encourages listeners to be deliberate about surrounding themselves with joy, love, and supportive people.

Dr. Brad ties these lessons to the show’s mission—to help those impacted by cancer “cope with hope and humor.” Together, they remind listeners that laughter is not denial but a form of healing, and that strong relationships built on love, respect, and shared laughter can lift anyone through adversity.

The Cancer and Comedy Podcast with Dr. Brad Noah inspires cancer-impacted individuals to find strength, connection, and lightness amid life’s challenges.
