28 分钟Hey, dear sugar listeners, this is Amory Severson,
host of WBUR's Beyond All Repair and co-host of Endless Thread.
And I'm here to share something special with you this week.
We're bringing you a powerful and deeply personal episode of the new miniseries,
The C-Word Stories of Cancer from Say More, a podcast from the Boston Globe.
In this episode,
host and award-winning columnist Shirley Leung talks for the first time about her breast cancer diagnosis.
She talks about the moment she learned the news,
how she navigated the physical and emotional toll of treatment,
and what it meant to keep this part of her life private until now.
It's an honest and intimate conversation about illness, identity,
and the complexity of choosing when and how to tell your story, especially as a public figure.
Shirley's reflections are brave and vulnerable,
and they're a powerful reminder of just how much strength it takes to be seen.
I'm not going to give away too much about the episode, but if you like what you hear,
don't forget to follow Say More on your favorite podcast app,
and you can listen to the complete miniseries on their feed right now.
But for now, let's get into the full episode.
Welcome to Say More from Boston Globe Opinion.
I'm Shirley Leung.
