In this episode, hear 21 year old Michael Cramer who was given just eight months to live share his journey on beating a rare and aggressive blood cancer.  At age 19, Michael had been an athletic, healthy teenager.  He was a surfer and sailor, rarely sick and had never been hospitalized.  A routine blood test led to a life-changing cancer diagnosis.  After Michael was diagnosed with Hepatosplenic T-cell Lymphoma (HSTCL)  Michael and his mom Ashlee Cramer were terrified.  They knew Michael might not survive and could only have just eight months to live.  That was in July 2020.  Now Michael is inspiring others who are going through health hardships.  Although Michael has some major challenges as a result of his treatments, he and his Mom are reaching out and helping so many others.  This beautiful momma/son team talk cancer, share how this tragedy changed their lives for the better, and gave them the courage to motivate and inspire others.  From the beginning, Michael and his mom have embraced sharing their experience and the lessons they have learned on social media through Instagram and TikTok.   Recently they tell their story in more depth, from both perspectives on their podcast , called Michael and Mom Talk Cancer.  Michael still has a long recovery road ahead, but is now in full remission and is sharing his miraculous journey to let others know they are loved and not alone.  Thank you for listening and sharing with a friend.  Hugs, Lorri
