Hey! My name is ChelsWhoElse, or Chelsea, whichever works.
I’ve had sick parents for as long as I can remember. In elementary school, my dad was diagnosed w/ ALS. That same year, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. After chemo, radiation, and surgery, my mom ended up fully recovering.
My dad died when I was in college after 15 years with the disease, which is ironically great as many people with ALS die after a few years. Several years later..my mom finds out that after 17 years in remission she has cancer…again. This time it’s stage 4.

Don’t worry though - this isn’t supposed to be depressing. Since I’ve had a unique perspective of witnessing parental sickness as both a child + now as an adult, join me in my weekly podcast, DYING OF LAUGHTER, as I explore my thoughts + feelings giving advice, educational information and more to young adults who have experienced loss. I’m not a licensed medical professional - just a real person going through a real experience. Thanks for stopping by!

October is breast cancer awareness month. There’s pink sh*t everywhere. But what does that mean? I am not entirely sure what it means to the world, but I will tell you what it means to me. I’ve had sick parents for as long as I can remember. When I was in third grade...
