Simone became actively involved after her late father, Hardin—lovingly referred to as “Dad” throughout this episode—was diagnosed with sarcoma. Hardin’s journey with sarcoma was unique. His sarcoma diagnosis came shortly after he had already been diagnosed with breast cancer, leading Simone and her family into a complex and uncertain path toward understanding the disease and deciding how best to move forward with treatment. Simone shares what it was like to support her father as a caregiver alongside her mother, offering a deeply personal perspective on navigating a rare cancer diagnosis. Shortly after her father’s diagnosis, Simone’s experience took another unexpected turn when she herself was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Simone reflects on the stark differences she observed between her own treatment options and those available to her father, and she speaks passionately about why advocacy and research in the sarcoma space are so critical. Simone, thank you for being such a powerful and committed voice in the sarcoma and cancer community, and for sharing Dad’s story with us. Let’s dive in.
