Kate & Kristen

In this episode, we sit down with Kate DeForge, who was diagnosed with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma as a young adult. Kate opens up about what it’s been like navigating young adulthood with sarcoma, and shares the mindset and philosophy that have shaped how she lives her life since her diagnosis.

We’re also joined by Kate’s sister, Kristen, who offers her personal perspective on being on the sarcoma journey with a sibling. She reflects on her role in Kate’s care and how she helps bring a sense of normalcy to everyday life.

It’s immediately clear that Kate and Kristen are a dynamic duo. They balance one another, communicate with the unspoken understanding that only siblings share, and together tell a powerful, honest story of how sarcoma is truly a family disease.

Thank you, Kate and Kristen, for joining us and sharing your journey.
