About this episode
What happens when a diagnosis lands you in a world you never asked to enter and no one around you knows what to say? Tricia Ann Roloff, author of Navigating Through a Strange Land, joins People of Distinction to share how a pituitary tumor diagnosis led her to create a one-of-a-kind resource that weaves together dozens of real patient stories into a lifeline for brain tumor patients and their families. From navigating hospitals and neuropsychologists to what family members should actually say (hint: stop with the platitudes), this conversation is raw, practical, and deeply human.
