That's So Chronic

Hi everyone! Just a quick episode this week to deliver a PSA... I'm taking a couple of weeks off! I'm getting my MS treatment next week, and it's a pretty big infusion that knocks me out, so I trying to be kind to myself and take a little breather. Which is kind of scary! Because what if you all forget about me?! But hopefully my infusion goes well and I'll be back in no time. You can use this time to catch up on any episodes that you might have missed, and you'll be hearing from me very soon! I'm still going to be over on instagram though, so make sure you follow @ThatsSoChronic for all the latest updates. As always, I really appreciate your support of TSC from all around the world.

Hi! Welcome to That’s So Chronic. Today’s episode is coming to you from a bright yellow van named Maxwell, with Lauren Cayford. Lauren was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin's lymphoma at the end of 2019, which is what we are chatting about today. In today’s episode Lauren talks about the road to her diagnosis, the process of going through IVF, how her mind and body handled chemotherapy, what happens to friendships when suddenly you’re the friend with cancer, and, she explains how she found out about That’s So Chronic… there might have been a panic attack involved!

Hi! Welcome to That’s So Chronic. Today I am bringing you an interview with ‘aging acrobat’ (his words!) Joshua Phillips. Back when Joshua was around 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD. In this episode we chat about his diagnosis, what obsessions and compulsions are like for him, we discuss the misinformation floating around about OCD, and there’s even a message for Kylie Minogue. I consider Josh to be a really good friend, and when he messaged me to be interviewed on That’s So Chronic that was the first time I had ever heard him talk about OCD. I feel really honoured that he trusted me and the That’s So Chronic community to share his story, and I love that I get to share it with all of you today. For more info about the ‘97 movie As Good As It Gets: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119822/ PS I did watch it… It’s definitely dated, but it holds up okay. It was interesting! The episode of Scrubs with Michael J Fox that is mentioned is: ‘My Catalyst’ season 3 episode 12 And I recommend following Joshua on instagram: @joshuakirayoshi it's truly amazing the things he creates and the tricks he performs! If you enjoyed this episode, share it with everyone! Tag me (@thatssochronic) in a pic of you listening. I love to see it! And don’t forget to subscribe, follow, and leave a review. That really helps TSC get into more ears around the world, to hopefully spread awareness, and more importantly… Hope. @thatssochronic | @jessssbrien | #thatssochronic Want to share your story on That's So Chronic?
