Theresa Brown: Nurse & Author on Breast Cancer and The True Meaning of Healing

Theresa Brown was an English Professor before she became a Registered Nurse and a successful author. Most recently, she published her memoir Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient. We talk about her years going through breast cancer and her thoughts on the health system after seeing it from both sides.

Theresa tells us about her years as an oncology and hospice nurse, what it was like to receive her diagnosis and her long road to recovery. Her message is one of compassion and hope. Theresa is now cancer-free and she does not live in fear of the cancer returning. But the fear is there, she says. And the most important thing she can do is to value what she has.
