In this episode you will hear from Jay Curran as he describes his life living with stage IV laryngeal cancer and Waldenstroms disease. Jay has severe neuropathy which cannot be treated and causes intense pain especially in his hands and feet. Patients with neuropathy describe how painful it is even to have a bed sheet brush over your feet at night. Yet despite his intense pain, Jay attends daily mass at his local Roman Catholic Church and he walks up 11 miles a day in his backyard. When he first started walking, he could only take a few steps in his living room yet even with setbacks Jay has been able to complete over 500 miles of walking the virtual El Camino. Jay’s faith and perseverance are truly inspirational.
