Deb Krier talks about her initiative tryingnottodie.live which primarily works with people dealing with cancer and medical personnel treating them. She emphasizes the need to take charge of one's own care and advocates for treating patients as individuals rather than just their conditions.
Being diagnosed with stage four metastatic breast cancer that is triple positive in 2015, and how it is affecting her life she talks about the ongoing challenges she faces due to ongoing treatments, bone pain, osteoporosis, and kidney issues. She also mentions the need to pay attention to her body and rest when necessary.
The conversation also emphasizes the importance of being one's own advocate and having someone accompany you during medical visits to act as a second set of eyes and ears.
