S3E51: Lara MacGregor of A Hopeful Life and Hope Scarves {update on Stage 4 breast cancer}

Lara has stage 4 breast cancer and her health continues to decline. When we originally recorded this interview in late 2019, she was stable but knew what is happening right now- cancer progression, treatments, clinical trials, more progression- would unfold someday. 

No ads or "buy XYZ" today. I'm asking outright that you join me supporting Hope Scarves while Lara, a Sister in Christ, is with us on this side of Glory and can feel your love and support. https://hopescarves.org
