Brian and Betsy Lucas were a happy, successful couple with two very young daughters when a stunning medical diagnosis transformed life, as they knew it. Brian chronicled their 2-year saga of heartache and hope in his award-winning book, Here Comes the Sun: A Young Family’s Journey through Cancer. Now both Brian and Betsy join Marti & Erin for a moving and inspiring discussion of their experience, including explaining cancer to a child and the extraordinary connection between Betsy and the young stranger whose selfless gift saved her life. Whether or not you ever face cancer yourself, you will cherish the life lessons in this week’s very special Mom Enough show.
