In this episode, I sit down with Lainie Jones, a six-time primary cancer survivor and the inspiring force behind "The Early Detective." Lainie shares her remarkable journey, from her first cancer diagnosis at just 18 months old to her current battle with glioblastoma. Despite the challenges, Lainie has dedicated her life to advocacy, early detection, and helping others navigate their cancer journeys with resilience and purpose. We discuss the importance of living each day with intention, being your own health advocate, and how genetic testing has played a crucial role in her survival. Lainie's story is a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the impact of living life authentically and deliberately.
